Enroute to Kyoto - a day of planes, trains, and automobiles (well, a bus)

Although we didn't realize it at the time, this was a big travel day. We stayed the night before our flight in Seoul so we only had to leave at 6:30 AM instead of 5:30 AM to get to the airport. From our hotel, the Dragon Hill Lodge, we took a free bus to Incheon airport. Since, David was traveling with us, we were able to check-in in a special line and only had to wait five minutes instead of thirty. This gave us almost 2 hours in the airport to kill. Incheon is a fabulous airport. We found a little play area for David and did some Korean crafts.

We also got to board the plane early with David. Fortunately, it was only a 2 hour flight to Osaka airport. Unfortunately, we had a tired little boy on our hands who did not want to sit still plus his digestive system was a little off as well. He finally fell asleep in my arms about 20 minutes prior to landing and slept through the landing and a hand off to Daddy.

Once in Osaka, we needed to figure out which train to take to get to Kyoto. An American looking gentleman offered some assistance and the ticket office was helpful as well. We stopped for a quick lunch and then boarded the train. The "JR" on the sign stands for Japan Rail. The train arrived at Kyoto Station in about 70 minutes.

Our hotel was in Kyoto station so once we arrived, we didn't have far to go. It took us nine hours to get there. By this point, David had gone through seven diapers and half of our wipes. Thankfully, he was better the next day.
