Checking Out the Area

The 36th floor lobby at the Oakwood Premier Incheon ... one of my favorite photos.

Getting my Starbucks fix

Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea

View of the player avatar flags behind the clubhouse at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea

I just like the icons ... even if they're for the clubhouse bathrooms

There are beautiful sculptures all over the city.

Smart car decals

Latte from Lotte. I was so excited to find these iced lattes from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Lotte (below), a huge, awesome store across the street from our hotel. It has absolutely everything!

Annyong from Korea

Coming in for a landing in Incheon, Korea at dusk.

We checked into the beautiful Oakwood Premier Incheon.

First things first ... shower time

All of the rooms are suites with full kitchens, washer/dryers & high tech appointments including the Smartlet ... because every toilet needs a heated seat & a remote control.

Of course with so many appliances, you need to have a big binder with operating instructions ...

I love the wall outlets above the desk ... 2 electric, HDMI, USB & ethernet.

Doesn't every hotel room have a rice cooker?

Annyong ... I feel like I'm in an episode of Arrested Development!

JAX-JFK-ICN

Long but comfortable flight from JFK to Incheon International Airport, Korea ... approximately 7300 miles & 14 hours, on the amazing Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger airliner. It's almost 6,000 square feet which is 40% bigger than the next largest plane, a 747. This double-decker seats 525 to 853 people depending on the configuration.

Luckily, right before we took off, I got a quick glimpse of Stella in the kiddie pool on the Pet Paradise webcam.

Puppy Photo Blanket

Today I received the blanket I ordered with pix of my pup. It looks awesome! The printing is so sharp. Even Stella loves it!

PoolTime & FaceTime

Stella LOVES Renee & Greg's pool.

FaceTiming ... Grandma & Grandpup

Stink-Eye Sunset

Stella wasn't happy it was raining at lunchtime.

There was a beautiful sunset on our block after work walk.

Before & After

Stella ... my Floppy Mopster

Taser & Fozzie Bear

I love Taser & Fozzie Bear's Doggles! I'm going to have to get a pair for Stella!

Saturday Parties

Trevor got a nice variety of birthday cards. LOL!

Trevor, Lauren, Abbey & Rob

My favorite part ... smash the cake!

Sooooo cute!

 Rob is shooting the pic of Trevor posted below.

I got my keys! Let's go for a ride! It's my birthday ... I gotta be old enough to drive!

 A kiss from Cora

Second party today ... there were a lot of friends to congratulate at the Fischers party.

Froggy

There have been a ton of baby frogs all over the windows & screens every morning. Around 8pm every night, the frog croaking around the pond is deafening & it goes on all night long! It's even really loud when all of the doors & windows are closed. Now I know they've been busy making baby frogs, LOL.

This one jumped into the house when I opened the door to let Stella out. I'm getting pretty good at catch & release.

Great Blue Heron Watchdog

For the first time EVER, Stella just watched, as a Great Blue Heron walked the entire length of the backyard, on the bulkhead. I'm shocked she didn't chase it!

The Coop

I went to Orlando with Mary for a day trip & stopped to eat at The Coop in Winter Park. It's the same company as my favorite BBQ restaurant ... 4 Rivers Smokehouse.

I had the Tamale Pancakes Topped with Pulled Pork. I've definitely never seen this on a menu anywhere else.
