Update

The only thing left now is to get our official flight information.  We were hoping to leave on December 19th but it now looks like it will be December 20th.  All the cheap (yeah, right) seats were already gone for the 19th.  But one day won't really make a difference.

I'll be going for the first four weeks and then mom's BFF will go the remaining three.  We all have our Skype so I can see hubby and m' beautiful girls every day. 

I have learned how to say the following in Korean:  Yes.  No.  Hello.  Okay.  Please.  Thank you.  Good evening.  Good night.  Good bye.  Excuse me.  Don't mention it.  Never mind.  ... and most importantly:  Do you speak English (yong-o haseyo).

Still have about two and half weeks to learn some more.  I think I'll need:  Pleasure to meet you.  How much is that.  ... and May I have a glass of wine.  Yup, we'll be good then.

Have begun getting a template idea of what I'll need to bring for a month.  When the airport workers open up my luggage, 45 lbs of Pop Tarts and Cup O' Noodle soups will come pouring out.  When you think about it... like for my mom... that's 3 meals a day for approx. 7 weeks... that's 147 meals!  Can she eat 147 meals of Korean BBQ and Outback Steakhouse?  Don't think so.  Note to self:  Better bring some Jerky too.

Most folks who have blogged while in Korea don't ever write when they get back home.  So, we don't know if the treatment is working.  Mom is seeing her oncologist for a baseline before we leave.  We'll see where she is when she returns and I will blog about it.  Whether good or bad... anyone that finds my blog will want to know the outcome and I will report it.

I'll tell you this...

My hopes are flying at full mast!
