Summer Vacation!!

Our work week has finally ended.  It felt like the longest of the 21 weeks we have been here which I guess means we are very ready for our vacation.  Our school has a one week summer vacation next week and we cannot wait to leave for Thailand in the morning!  We will be staying at a resort on Mai Khao Beach in Phuket.  We are so excited to spend the week before our first anniversary relaxing on the beach, doing a bit of sightseeing in Phuket Town and seeing our second Asian country.

After getting all packed and ready to go, Melanie and I went to see Gyeonghuigung Palace today.  This was the third of the five palaces in Seoul that I had been too and it looked just about the same as the other two.  It was a bit smaller than the others I had seen and there was virtually no one there which meant there were no people in our pictures either!

We will have an early morning tomorrow since it takes us over an hour to get to the airport on the subway.  But by this time tomorrow night we will have landed and be making our way to a relaxing week on the beach!  We will have a report of our trip and I'm sure many pictures to share next weekend!
