What was I thinking?

Why did I think it would be a good idea to take two 3 month old babies and flip their schedule completely upside down?
We arrived at Seoul's Inchon airport around 3:30pm on June 27th. I'm sure traveling with a baby is difficult anytime, but traveling with two, to a country where you can't even begin the speak the language, or read the characters that constitute as their alphabet is down right daunting. Billy and I managed to make it through customs, and find all of our language (yes, I brought everything but the kitchen sink- it wouldn't fit), but then we had to figure out how we were to leave the airport. So there we stood, language carts piled to the ceiling, stroller crammed full of babies, diaper bag, pack-n-play, etc., and we can't figure out where to go from the baggage carousel. We must've been a sight, because eventually, a Korean airline worker approached us, and pointed us in the correct direction.
When we got to the receiving area of the airport, Michael was waiting for us, waving, with the biggest smile you've ever seen! He ran up to us, and may have temporarily forgot I was even there. All he saw were Ella and Sterling. I'm sure it's a moment he won't ever forget. So Michael says, "here, let me help you." I turn to had him one of the luggage carts I've been dragging, and by the time I turn back around, he's half way down the airport, pushing the stroller, cooing and smiling at the babies!
Our first hours in Korea were wonderful. We checked into the Dragon Hill lodge on the Yongson Army base in the middle of Seoul. Of course, getting Billy onto the Army base, as a non-dependent, nearly took an act of Congress! We got settled into our room, where Billy promptly passed out. Neither one of us had been able to sleep on the flight, so it was going on 24 hours since the last time we had slept! Since it was still the middle of the night to the babies, Michael and I decided to use the opportunity to go to the hotel restaurant, which was surprisingly very nice, for the special celebration "champagne dinner." It was such a nice dinner, with very tasty American entrees, and both babies slept right through it.
Then we got back to our room, where things began to fall apart! As we got the babies ready for bed, and fed them, they began to get progressively more awake and alert. In their world, it was time to wake up! Of course, in Korea, it was 10 o'clock at night, and time for them to go to sleep. After finally getting my two babies who normally go to sleep as soon as you lay them in the crib, to fall asleep, I finally got to bed- 29 hours after I woke up last!
1:30am- Rise and shine! It's time to eat and play!
4:45am- Wake up again!
7:30am- Why are you still making us sleep? Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Billy all give up! What's the point of trying to go back to sleep now? Sleep is clearly highly overrated to these two. What was I thinking? I just threw their beautiful schedule on it's head! Now we were paying for it. So, we all got up and went to breakfast, which was fine. Then after breakfast, both babies began to fall apart at the seams. Now they were ready to go to bed, and for some reason, we were trying to keep them awake! So, we took 2 screaming babies across town to the next hotel we were staying in (aren't your children adorable, Michael?). We only had a 1 night reservation on the Army base, so we checked into the Capital Hotel in Seoul for the next night.
Wow, was the Capital Hotel a sight! Considered to be a decent hotel in Korean terms, it was one of the tackiest places I've ever been in in my entire life! Think fuchsia pink, nauseating swirls. Korea's attempt at "European elegance." A failed attempt. Also, this is where we began to experience how energy conscience Koreans are- but more about that later. So, here we all sat in this God awful, tacky hotel room, with two screaming, hot and sweaty little babies. I was seriously regretting this trip at this point. Eventually we got the children to calm down, and drift off to sleep, and Billy and Michael made it out for a "night on the town." The next morning I believe Billy was thrilled to be leaving us for Singapore. After Michael got Billy off to the airport, we left for Waegwan, where Michael is stationed.... hopefully things will start to calm down once we get to our own home!
