Today was my last day here in the States before flying out for Hawaii tomorrow! I woke up early, ran all my last minute errands, and really got quite a bit done. It's creeping towards midnight right now, so I should probably start thinking of bed soon, what with my early wake-up call tomorrow (at the lovely hour of 4:30AM! Cuz aren't we all just bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at that hour. . . >.<). My little brother Steven will be dropping me off at the Van Nuys Flyaway before his morning class. Really, how he even wakes himself up at that hour when the kid usually sleeps past dinnertime if you let him, is a miracle in itself.
So I'll be flying out of LAX at 10:30AM & arriving in Honolulu at 2:20PM, all on March 5. I'm really excited that I get to see my aunties & little cousin Lia for even a short amount of time :) This worked out really nicely! Armed with manapua & shaved ice, I'll be departing Honolulu at 10:20AM on March 6 & arriving in Korea at 4:30PM on March 7. Here's a little more trip magic: we both were fully expecting for one of us to have to wait at Incheon Airport in Seoul for hours before the other one's flight came in. However, even though we booked separately & without consulting each other first, it turns out Jess arrives in Seoul at 4:20PM on March 7! TEN MINUTES BEFORE ME. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?
Once we meet up, we'll locate and hop the proper bus to take us to Gangnam and to our home sweet home for the next couple weeks: Noblesse Yeoksam Hotel. If any of you read my last blog from my first trip, you'll be familiar with this place and all of its ridiculously awesome charms. The room we are getting this time however will be even larger than my already stupid large room last time, since it will have two beds! I'm excited to check out our room :) Jess will be staying for two weeks, but I'll be staying for three weeks, so once she departs I'll move into my own smaller room once again.

Got a gel mani done today in this gorgeous glowy brown color, in preparation for the trip! ~ My painstakingly packed suitcase + backpack & side bag carryon.
So back to today. After packing, and unpacking, and repacking for hours, I FINALLY reached the point where I . . . just dumped my whole suitcase out on the floor in frustration because this was just so not working for me T.T It's incredible how much space things take lol. At long last though, I have a semblance of packing perfection! This is so deja vu from my last trip, it's kiiiiiiiind of freaking me out. . .
I'll have my giant suitcase from my last trip to Korea, with a smaller suitcase inside of it. That smaller one is the one I packed, so upon arrival in the Land of Kimchi I will have a whole glorious suitcase (!!!) for me to fill up with all sorts of awesome things. Yes Jeff, I will look for kimchi kit kats & yes kally dongsaeng, I will bring you some cute new earrings for you to rock after we get your ears done :D
That's all for tonight folks, I'm really really excited to be starting another amazing adventure with you guys! This will be the second trip to Seoul so I hopefully won't be as completely and utterly lost as I was the first time. This could a drawback though, since a lot of the most awesome places I found/ran into were discovered when I was lost. I'm actually kind of worried I won't be able to find some of these places again hahah. Guess we'll just have to get lost & find some new ones ^.^ Good night! 안녕히 주무세요!

(I'll try to keep up with my random Korean teachings again as this blog progresses cuz it was fun & some people told me they actually were learning the words I was posting. With a trip half as short as my last one however, this might not always happen >.< Fair warning. 미안해!)
