We Miss The Boat!! Literally

We really missed the boat! Jesse had a fishing trip with his co-workers, they call it "team building" trip yesterday. The family were invited. It was at a dock somewhere close to the airport. We had the car again and we left at 5:30 in the morning and the boat was to depart at 7:00 am. We didn't make it because there was so much traffic delay on the road and we missed the exit and once you miss it, it takes miles to turn around and when we got back to the right road (I was on the phone with Jesse's co-worker and he told us the boat was departing.) We were still going to try and at least see the area but the traffic was so bad, we decided to turn around and go to Seoul instead. While on the way, we changed our mind and go to Yongsan Base (the main Base in Seoul) to see if we can have lunch with our friends, the McDonalds, who are leaving for the States. When we got there, we bump into them, just mom and the kids though and we went to breakfast instead. I was a little disappointed not able to go fishing but Jesse didn't mind. Jesse decided to shop for stuff he wants instead. Well on the way home was an adventure with frustration. Yeah, yeah we have the navigation and it was a lot of help but we keep missing the exit to take us home. It was frustrating because the turn around is so far and the other drivers are just so bad, on the positive side we saw a lot of Seoul. I am glad we do not live in Seoul. It is so congested with cars, people, buildings and everything else, worse than Honolulu. I have come to appreciate our area, the countryside. I am sure there will be other times we will go to Seoul but I will take public transportation because it won't take as long and the subway is much more easy to use or take.
