"I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world."

This title comes from the website of the agency that we I am traveling with to Korea this summer. A few of you have sent me email asking me a few questions about the agency..why I am going again...etc.

We found the agency through others who had traveled to Korea and through researching tours that went to Korea on "homeland" trips for families with Korean born children. After checking out several of them, this seemed to be the one that best fit our families needs. It just appeared to be really friendly group of people, and the thing that caught my attention the most was that it was founded by the mom of two adopted Korean-born children. That seemed to me to be a very key factor. She would know what was needed for a lot of families.

We took our family to Korea in the summer of 2003 and were overwhelmed by the amount of work and people that it took to make that program run smoothly. And it really did run very smoothly. Every time we needed somebody to help us, a listening ear, or just a question answered, there was a staff person there to help.

So now I get to be a part of this program and I am so very excited! We will be traveling to Seoul first and spending a few days there. Then, if it goes like it did in 2003, we will go across to the Eastern Sea to Mount Sorakson and spend a few days relaxing by the ocean. Then we will travel by bus down to Busan, and then by train back up to Seoul.

Anyway, that's it for now.
Thanks for reading. If you can't post a comment---I am sorry. I haven't figured out why. I will have to ask Mikey J.
