My intentions were to start this blog when we received our plane tickets. For the past few weeks we were under the impression we were leaving on Sunday, Sept. 10th and our tickets (the school is paying for these) would arrive 1-2 weeks in advance. Well this morning (Wednesday the 6th) I awoke to an email with e-tickets saying we are leaving on the 8th... giving us barely 48 hours notice.
So right now this is our situation:
We are leaving for a year to teach conversational English to 6-15 year olds. The city we are going to be living and working in is Daejeon, South Korea. It is in the middle of South Korea, which will be really nice because we would like to travel around the country as much as possible when we are there. In addition to paying for our airfare the school is also providing us with accommodations. We were told it will have two bedrooms, one living room/kitchen, and two bathrooms (two bathrooms?). Our teaching hours are between 12:30 and 8:30PM and this also includes prep time.
So, barring any more last minute changes, we should arrive in South Korea on Saturday the 9th. We really want to hear from everyone throughout the year, so email us or post comments. We'll try to keep this updated as much as we can. Also we will set up a photo gallery as soon as we get to Korea and get some pictures taken. Have a good year everyone!

We just spent 7 months teaching English to kids in Daejeon, South Korea. We are now heading through China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.

Okay, I guess I will be the first to add a comment although I am still in denial about this whole trip thing.
Oops I see now that someone beat me to it, anyway here's hoping this adventure will be everything and so much more that you both hope for. Must run now and stock up on some kleenex for Janet and myself for Friday.
Mum
Good luck guys! I will miss you lots! Make sure you post lots!!
I miss you guys already. Tara you may have a tough time finding a hair straightener there...probably not much of a market for them. You left yours on the kitchen table. Anyways hope you guys are having a good flight & hope you have a wonderful year. Not a moment will go by that you are not on our minds. Be good to each other & remember that it's not the destination, it's the journey! Enjoy your journey!!! Love Mom & Dad
