There's a reason I'm a homebody and typically don't travel much. I usually get motion sickness on a plane. On this trip, I was ready for it with some Dramamine. Unfortunately, other things didn't go quite as planned.
- My shoulder seized up and I had to go to a Doctor twice. He told me I had subdeltoid bursitis and then injected my shoulder with something. I'm still not sure what it was.
- I must have rubbed my eye without washing my hands, because the skin around my left eye turned red.
- Terrible allergies.
- Abdominal pain and problems with bowel stuff. For 4 days. You get the idea.
But the great things happened;
- It was Livia's first and second time on an airplane. Other than having trouble sleeping, she did great.
- It was my last time seeing the Heukseuk-Dong house in person. It will be demolished very soon. It was the home my dad grew up in, and the home my grandfather worked hard to buy for his family.
- I got to see my cousins again. Outside of my mom and sister, they're the only family I have.
- It was my wife's first time in Korea. And she had a blast.
- My sister and I got to revisit many parts of our childhood.
When our dad passed away, we never thought we'd go back to Korea. But now we're already planning more trips. And I can't wait.
