For some reason, we have been de-planed. So now we are all back out at the gate. Not sure what is going on. Our flight was suppose to leave 30 minutes ago. But there is a silver lining. There are free power stations all over the place, so now I can charge my laptop.
Now I just need to decide which in-flight movie to watch. My Sister's Keeper or Ghosts of Girlfriends Past? Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Just announced they are inspecting the plane and hope to start reboard in 10 minutes. Well, that's 10 more minutes I can charge the laptop!

Sitting at JFK
This is my first trip into JFK. It's just slightly bigger than good old Manchester Airport! I am thinking of bringing a generator next time they come. There are two outlets at this terminal -- and they charge fifty cents a minute for power. Think how much $$$$$ I could make with a generator!!!
The Adventure Begins
After months of anticipation, I am finally embarking on my 13-day journey to South Korea! I just finished the easiest leg of my journey -- Boston to New York. Now I have a 2-hour wait before I board Korea Air for my 13-hour flight to Incheon International Airport.
For those of you who don't know why the heck I am taking this trip, let me explain. I applied for a fellowship with the Korea Society back in July. The fellowship was open to editors and writers in the educational publishing field. I received word in August that I was one of the 10 or so selected. As part of the application process, I had to demonstrate how I would use the information in my work. So, we will dedicate an entire issue of FACES to Korea.
We will spend the next two weeks touring South Korea. We will begin in Seoul. Because everyone needs a little Seoul.
So, I said goodbye to my kids at the park and ride in Nashua at about 3:15 today. Mommy cried, but Maddie and Brady were little troopers. Brady told me, "Don't worry, Mommy. You will be back soon." Love that kid.
