This is one of the parts of traveling that I detest

7AM, Friday, August 3.
As much as I’m looking forward to our weekend trip to the southeast region of the Korean Peninsula, having to pack everything up after comfortably settling into the Beloved Vabien for a week is just a pain in the butt. We have the option of leaving part of our luggage here in Seoul, so I’m trying to squeeze the necessities into my briefcase-type carry-on, with the leftovers going into every available nook and cranny of my laptop case. Suffice it to say that it’s a tight fit. Then there’s the frustration of trying to anticipate what I will need, or might need, and thus ought to bring along. Oh, well, once I’m done with all this unpleasantness, I get the ultimate reward: A seven-hour bus ride.

Oh joy.
