The Journey of a Lifetime Day One : July 1

                    Friday , July 1 Departed from San Fran International Airport destination is Incheon South Korea. The Fam's first time traveling together outside the country, and as adults. This epic adventure had to documented each step of the way. Which I did daily with the help of my Ipod and my camera. I blogged each day the highs and lows of this experience. And I would like to share my journey with you . As you read you will experience things through my eyes. There were alot of laughs and annoyances throughout this trip. However, I had an AMAZING time and met AWESOME people through my travels. I  hope you enjoy reading about this 2 week Epic journey. "The Fam" decided to call the theme of this trip  "FIREWORKS". And so it begins ..............


        We first met up in San Fran Airport this is where our journey    begins to South Korea



We flew to Korea on Asiana Airlines ..The service was like none other. It was wonderful. I received slippers for my feet, a pillow for my head, a blanket for warmth, a hot towel to wipe my face , a menu to select my meal, an array of media/game selection to meet my entertainment needs. This isn't going to be a bad 11 hours after all  I thought to myself . WRONG !!!! I was tired as HECK.. I slept for one hour. My body was all disoriented. I didn't know whether I was coming or going. Then they wanted to "ACT" like it was night the whole time. They turned the lights off and shut down the plane at about 3 -4 o'clock PM. Even though I could see the sunlight peaking through for the whole 11 hours. I thought  I was going to go crazy ..

Its a big one !!

Those slippers I mentioned. Sit back and Relax

The time difference is crazy. 11 hour flight. We left July 1 at 1:10pm and arrived July 2 at 5:30pm. You do the math.

This Dude was knocked out before we took off.

Hot towel so refreshing.


Part of my entertainment packet ! I selected 10 movies to watch on this flight. I watched 4 of them I believe.




So one thing I neglected to mention or take a picture of was my first meal . Throughout my travels I attempted to document every meal I ate . I LOVE food so this was extremely necessary for me .So look for the food blog soon of this trip. But back to the story .. So initial I requested a vegetarian meal option. However, when I got the menu I saw that they offered Salmon with Lemon and veggies. So I figured it was something I could it WRONNNNNNG. When I got the tray it was a little slice of raw salmon with a lemon wedge and Beef . So I told the attendant that I ordered to Veggie option and that I would like that instead. So because they technically didn't have any more vegetarian trays she prepared me a New Dehli tray which was Indian food . It was okay but the rice was a bit dry and the food was actually kinda bland. CRAZY right how can you have bland Indian food when that's all they cook with is Spices.. BUT ITS POSSIBLE . 

Anyways I survived and the rest of the plane trip was fine. I watched movies and prayed that I was able to fall asleep . I did for 1 hour . I was waiting patiently to get off the plane .. See ya in Korea !!
