Almost there - we are in Korea now!

Just a small journal to let you all know that we have landed in Korea and we are waiting the 6 hours in the airport before we board the flight to JFK New York. Unfortunately we were unable to get the airline to upgrade us to business class at Korea, so Dylan will have to continue 13 hours to New York without a TV or any entertainment in a small space where he is unable to lay down. Qantas upgraded us to Sydney which was wonderful, but we were unable to get from Sydney to Korea (10 hours) in business class. The big TV was all in Korean and the flight to New York will be the same, so that has upset Dylan a bit. On our flight to Korea, Dylan used up the 3 hours battery life we had on the portable DVD player that was donated to us during the campaign, for the flight. After that Dylan slept the rest of the way. We board in another 2 hours for New York. I am missing Tim and Cain already! We had a very sad departure at Melbourne airport with family and friends. A big thank you to Michelle, who we met for the first time at the airport. Michelle has been following Dylan's story for a long time now, and she met us at the airport and gave Dylan a big bag of goodies, beautiful things. Well, I must go and I will update as soon as I can once we get to New York.
