May 25th: Seoul – What a
perfect way to end our trip
We
arrived in Seoul around 5:30 am, and by 7 am we were through customs and
waiting for our bus into Seoul and our day-use hotel. Seoul Royal Hotel is
located in Myeongdong, a
pedestrian-only shopping area. About half of the students went out exploring in
the morning. I was in the other half, and chose to explore after the
hotel-provided lunch. Our itinerary ended up being the following: eat ice-cream,
make up Eli at the make-up shop, try on sun glasses, and drink bubble tea. At 4
pm we were back on the bus for an hour ride back to the airport, then 10 hours
on a plane, an hour through customs and security, and back to all of you.

I cannot express enough how
grateful I am for this opportunity to lead your students through Vietnam. What
an amazing groups of young adults. I am so proud of their attitude of
exploration and their desire to stretch their comfort zone, of their support of
each other and their willingness to engage the Vietnamese people and culture.
I also want to express my appreciation for the
unending hard work, commitment, compassion and flexibility of the chaperones.
All 8th grade families are greatly indebted to these amazing
people.
