Finally, our Korea visas have come though. After a long wait of two weeks Libby and I have received the OK & are ready to take off on Tuesday morning- woop woop! Libby is talking too much so I (Dan) has taken control of this posting.
BLA BLA BLA. THE END Hold on she has taken over AGAIN!
So we are at the cottage this weekend with my parents and family friends Wendy & Chris and hopefully we will get packed & tie up our loose ends on Sunday night & Monday AND squeeze in a lunch with Ashley and Stu.
It's been so great to catch up with everyone in the T.O. area - Melinda and Matt, Sabrina, Jenn, Laura, Elana, Benson, Lindsay, Emily and Libby's family- & put faces to the names of each other's old friends.
We will miss you all and will send news as soon as possible when we arrive in Daejon. Wish us luck!
Love Libby and Dan
