Today I leave Harrisonburg for Hampton. Tomorrow will be spent running errands (including an official JMU visit scheduled at my high school!) then having a little Halloween fun at Busch Gardens. (Thanks Mr and Mrs B for the season's pass!) My flight leaves very early Saturday morning- and finally lands in Seoul sometime on Sunday (local time). I have my itineraries printed, my email/voice mail responses have been updated and I cast my absentee ballot on Tuesday (don't forget to VOTE on November 4!)...I can't believe the trip is finally here! I am ready to go...well almost ready!
My biggest concern (at the moment anyways!) is having appropriate attire. Some sources indicate that in a business setting, females should wear skirts that reach below their knees. When I travel around Virginia and New Jersey, I wear a lot of pants and most of my skirts are either not very business-y or do not come below my knees. I'm not sure that what I'll be doing really qualifies as a business meeting (the organizer compared it to speed dating!), so I'm hoping that as long as I dress conservatively, I'll be ok! So far my packing is a bit scattered...I'm at the stage now where I plan to throw every item I might possibly need into the car and sort it out later. I'm actually glad that I have the mini-stopover in Hampton to finish organizing myself!
I have a few more things to take care of in the office, then it will be time to pick up my car, finish packing and hit the road! I'll try to update this again before I leave the country, but in case that doesn't happen I hope you enjoy this blog...feel free to leave messages so I know people are out there reading!

bon voyage! i'm sure everything will be great, so i wouldn't worry. and that whole "dress conservatively" thing...rubbish. asians heart bare skin, just like we do. the problem, see, is our misunderstanding of them. i think that what we perceive to be shock, anger, and condemnation is actually their way of showing appreciation. and who doesn't like being appreciated? :-) viva la booty shorts!
have fun!
Well, all the packing is done and the luggage is on the plane...and it is still dark outside!
Catch some sleep between here and Dallas...and then again on the l-o-n-g leg:-) ENJOY!
