Jeju Island Part 1

We knew we were going on vacation in September after a big peninsula wide exercise. A worked 2 weeks from 2 PM to 2 AM so he was ready to get away. We decided to head to Jeju Island - the Hawaii of Korea for 3 nights and did not do any extensive planning for this trip. Jeju is south of Korea, a 50 minute flight from Seoul or a 5 hour boat ride. We opted to fly. Also, the day before we left I woke up with a fever and stayed in bed nearly all day. Our vacation almost ended up not happening. I felt well enough to go but had 2 more nights of fevers in Jeju which limited what we actually did. Getting there was pretty uneventful except that David understood a little more that we were actually getting on a plane and flying up to the sky.

We arrived to a very drizzly and wet tropical paradise and quickly got our rental car from Avis. The car came equiped with a GPS which just required you to type in the phone number of your destination and it would route you there. Unbeknowst to us, the GPS would also warn you when your were approaching the speed cameras and cautioned us to slow down. At first we didn't know what it was doing - allowing A to go exceed the speed limit and follow the flow of traffic and other times it would beep annoyingly. We learned to follow the GPS.

Our hotel was a pleasant surprise and most of our pictures are actually of this resort. You can see the pics in the next post.
