Plane Ride

Of course after buying a bunch of travel gear from Target, when I got on the plane there was a pillow, blanket, headphones, slippers, and a mini toothbrush and toothpaste. My mom was right that I should have check about this before I boarded. I notoriously bring way too much on the plane with me (The first carry-on had everything I would need just incase my checked luggage was lost, including my jewelry, clothing, facial products, and make-up! The second one, which I stored by my feet had: blow-up neck pillow, blanket, eye mask, laptop, my purse and everyhting I normally carry in that like sunglasses, wallet...., magazines, books, notebook, pens, pencils, Korean study materials, snacks, change of clothes, and sandals.) Like I said, way too much stuff! Luckily I brought the change of clothes becasue I wore a sweat suit on board and my Uggs, which were way too hot. I changed into my shorts and sandals for most of the flight. I didn't read the magazines, books, or even eat snacks.....like I said way too much stuff!

After I got settled I asked Allie if I could use her phone to text my Mom, and she so kindly allowed me to. Our plane finally took off around 1:15am and about 45 minutes later we were served dinner. I chose to eat a tradidional Korean dinner called Bimnbop. This was interesting and I had to watch how Young put hers together because I had no clue! I mixed the rice with the ground meat, random veggies, pickled cucumbers, chili paste and sesame oil. It was not horrible, but not great either. I had seaweed soup, which I tried but did not eat. The best part of the dinner was the fresh fruit! Also, the coolest thing about flying Korean Air was the real silverware! It was really nice!

The flight attendants were very friendly and everyone was very beautiful as well, my friend Conn would have been in heaven. They all dressed so nicely and the women all had slicked back buns with a cool clip in their hair. I even practiced some of my Korean with one of the ladies. "Mul jom juseyo," which translates into "Give me water please."

I took a sleeping pill and was out for the majority of the plane ride, with the exception of waking up a few times becasue it was very hot and stuffy. The seats had a good amount  of space for my legs and the chairs reclined back pretty far. I only had to climb over Allie and Young twice to use the restroom and stretch.

For breakfast I ordered the omelet instead of Green Tea Poridge and it was very good. The omelet was served with salsa, tater tots, and sausage links. Also, there was yougurt, fresh fruit, and a fruit danish! Real silverware again. I had some coffee and some orange juice. Breakfast was very good!

Yummy omelet


After I finished I began listening to Korean Pop/R+B. At this point we only had about two hours left. This flight did not seem like it was 13 hours long! Before I knew it we had landed at Incheon International Airport!
