Visas are in and the Beach Adventure Begins!

After months of paperwork, hair-pulling, and frantic fedex-ing we have finally received our E2 Visas for teaching abroad in South Korea. 




With the arrival of our precious passports (Visa stickers intact) we have also been sent our flight itinerary and will be leaving the country on Saturday, August 24th. That's less than a week away, folks! I can't believe it. 

What makes this all especially exciting is that I'm getting to enjoy a wonderful beach vacation with my bestie and her family right before we leave! Yey! It's so lovely to see the beach and to do some relaxing, non-stressful things (for once)!

This is all very fun and new for me! It's been years since I've visited the ocean in my home country and I've never had the amazing opportunity to stay in a house literally steps from the beach before.

We've even been lucky enough to have some rare nice weather (for the Northern Pacific Coast area) so the wind has been minimal, the sun has been shining, and the clouds have kept their distance. I wish I could get me some hot California beach time but at least it's warm enough that we don't have to bundle up to walk along the beach. Still planning on fixing my horrible farmers tan though. 

Well, we are going to give ourselves until Friday to enjoy our vacation before we have to crack down on re-packing everything (joy) and getting all our stuff loaded for our early morning domestic flight (our flight to Seoul doesn't leave until later on in the afternoon on Saturday). It's weird to think that my next post will probably be from South Korea! Woo hoo~!!
