Right now I just got back to the hotel room after enjoying a pleasant dinner of Korean BBQ (as we call it) with the other pilot. We called the engineer to have him join us, but there was no answer in his room. At breakfast he had talked about taking a trip to the DMZ to see the border with North Korea - so maybe he did that. I would of been interested in seeing the DMZ, but he said the price for the trip (including bus to get there) was about $80.

A bit spendy for a day looking at landmines and fences if you ask me. It is his last trip with our airline, so he wanted to do something neat as he probably wouldn't be back to South Korea anytime soon.

We leave tomorrow to head back to Anchorage. It is a 10am departure, which is excellent. We have to depart the hotel two hours prior to departure, so that means 8am. I get to sleep during the night (novel concept, I know), wake up, have a normal breakfast and fly to Alaska. The sun will set as we head east giving us a late night arrival into Anchorage. It's almost like a normal job, for a change.

I got a nice email from my wife, CB as I was heading out to dinner. It was short but said all the right things. I enjoyed my time home with her and was sorry to leave. At the end of my days home she wasn't saying I've been home too long and "it was time for me to go". So - I'll call that progress. Hopefully things will stay positive and keep getting better - it will be hard work but well worth it.
