Plane Tickets are Booked!

Now that November is upon us, it means that we only have four short months left in Korea before the contracts with our schools will end and we will be headed back home.   Before we get there though, we have decided to end the two years we spent in Asia by taking a "super vacation" (at least that's what we have decided to call it).  We have been scouting out flights for a little bit now and officially made the move this weekend and booked our plane tickets.  It's still hard to believe the time is close enough now for us to do that and that the tickets are actually booked and paid for.  So here are the destinations of our super vacation: 
March 1st we will leave Korea and fly to Koh Samui, Thailand to spend a week at a resort.
March 8th we will fly from Koh Samui to Siem Reap, Cambodia to explore Angkor Wat and the temples.
Around March 11th or 12th we will take a bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, Cambodia where we may spend a night or two to see the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge regime. 
After spending a day in Phnom Penh (or not, we may just decide to pass through on the bus the same day) we will take the bus across the border into Vietnam and spend a couple of days in Ho Chi Minh City.
On March 16th we fly from Ho Chi Minh to Portland where we will arrive that afternoon and officially be home.

There's actually quite a few thoughts and emotions that come along with booking the tickets and realizing just how close it actually is!  On the one hand we are very excited to be going home to be closer to family and friends and starting that next chapter in our lives with careers and getting ourselves established and such.  But at the same time it won't be easy to leave Korea.  We've met a lot of great people and have made countless memories during our time here and it will be sad to see it come to an end.  Fortunately, the memories (and thousands of pictures!) will go with us into our next journey.
