You may wonder why this name for our blog? Well, it was Jim's idea- a riff on our favorite reality show, The Amazing Race, which we have enjoyed watching from its original episodes. Some of you may know that Jim liked it so much that he sent in an audition tape several years ago of himself as a buttoned down fire chief with a stilt walking son as his partner. Unfortunately they didn't get a call back. Go figure!
We've enjoyed being armchair travelers over the years, and sometimes on real trips when things so wrong, we say " at least we're not on the amazing race" and sometimes it feels as if we are. Especially these last 24 hours. I won't say it hasn't been a slog, as it has, and sometimes travel is grueling , but once we sat in our luxurious lavender " pod" on Thai Air Royal Silk business class, the cares of the world sort of melted away for a bit. You know it has been a good trip when you kind of hate to leave the airplane! I don't know if I have ever felt that way before.
So now we wait to reboard our Thai Air flight after disembarking in Seoul, going through security once again with all of our belongings, and having to dig through my bag to produce a pair of kiddy scissors which they carefully measured and pronounced OK!
Soon, very soon, I hope to figure out how to post a photo to this blog...
