Leaving On a Jet Plane

Yesterday I purchased my ticket from JFK to Seoul, via Olympia Tours in NYC. I got a great deal (I think) on a non-stop flight on Korean Air with the possibility of changing the return date with no penalty. This flexibility is great.

I've also decided not to fly to NYC, but take a bus. It seems longer, but it's not really, because I'd have to find a way to Syracuse from Ithaca, which is an hour and a half, plus another hour wait in the airport, plus the 1.5 hours flight. And the hassle of getting to Syracuse was giving me a huge headache last night. Taking the bus is a no brainer, is no more expensive, and also gives me that flexibility coming back. I've done that busride before and it's easy.

Great news from the recruiter -- they are going to help me set up my interviews. This is the last piece that I was worried about, and I am deeply grateful to them for supplying this crucial element. When they get their new website up, I will post a link here. Thank you to Patrick and Kristy!

This is the last leg of the pre-production journey. In four weeks I'll be in Korea. From now until then, I have a few things more to do, but I'm feeling very comfortable with where things are.
