Over the water!

Beautiful Mt Rainier!
We knew we were home when Mt Hood came into view!
The journey home started at 11:55 PM on January 22 as we departed Chiang Mai, bound for Incheon International Airport, near Seoul, South Korea.  We arrived about 6 AM after having crossed two time zones.  Anticipating the 10 hour flight across The Water at 6 that night, we booked a room with a bed and shower (and NOT much else) and slept, showered and emerged fresh and ready for the second and longest leg of the trip.  We flew through the darkness and awoke to Washington in the distance.  With little time to spare, we booked through immigration; picked up our luggage; made it through customs; dropped the luggage with airport ground crew and hustled to our gate, just in time to board the Portland flight.  The air was crisp, the sky was blue and we were happy to be on our way home!
