The Journey
Staying with SujuWe've never been in a plane before, EVER. This first flight of ours was something out of this world to us.
Ashley bounced in her seat next to me. I couldn't believe she still has her childish ways.
" I can't wait to see cousin Henry!!" she said, calming down and looking out the window.
" Me too. He said that we might get to stay with him at his house," I said sighing. My whole life I've dreamed of visiting another country, especially somewhere in Asia, especially Korea.
" Are we gonna get to meet Suju?? " she asked smiling.
" I don't know, that's up to Henry, " I pulled out my laptop and started it up. We had a long trip ahead of us.
I clicked on my Internet Explorer icon. Facebook popped up and I entered my information.
After it finished loading, I made my status say : "Traveling to see cousin Henry! I'll post more later when I get there!"
I hit post then shut the computer off. This trip better be worth while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~14 hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I shook my sister awake.
" Huh? Wha-what? Are we there, Kay? " she mumbled sleepily.
" Yup. "
I looked out the window to see the ground getting closer.
I could feel the plane vibrate as it touched down. Or maybe that was my insides buzzing around in excitement. I felt like I was blasting off into space.
I looked out at the surroundings: tall business buildings, small shops lining the streets, the early sunrise in the distance.
We finally slowed down and Ashley began jumping in her seat again.
" We're here, Ashley. This is Korea, " I told her.
" Yaaaaaaay!!!" she clapped her hands and bounced even more. If you didn't know better, you would've thought that she was 5.
We waited 5 minutes until we finally got let off the plane. My first step back on the ground felt so relieving.
I searched around for Henry while Ashley took pictures of the scenery and herself with her Blackberry.
We started to walk towards the main airport building.
A figure was jogging toward us.
" Kaaaaay!! Ashleeeeey!!" the person said.
" Henry!" Ashley squeeled. She rushed towards him, leaving me in the dust.
I headed towards him while he exchanged a secret handshake with her.
" Hey Henry!" I said giving him a high-five.
" Heeeeeyy! Well, let's go get your stuff " we all went inside to retrive our bags. Henry helped by carrying 2 of our 5 suitcases.
He led us to his car.
" So how long will you be staying?" he asked as we drove down the road.
" A month." I replied.
" Maybe longer, " my sister added with full of airport peanuts.
" Cool, hopefully you'll have fun and enjoy your stay in Korea, '' he said.
Henry the radio which was on Kiss the Radio with Leeteuk and Eunhyuk.
I had NO clue exactly what was ahead of me.
