Start "Homeward Bound," by Paul Simon.

I'm leaving tomorrow night for Seoul, and from there it's a matter of hours (albeit a lot of hours) before I make to Dulles. Saturday morning 11:30 a.m. eastern time I'll be there.

I'm excited about having a day in Seoul...some of my friends gave me tips on how to get a city tour if I want one, and maybe I'll get to see some cool stuff.

Most of all I'm excited about being home for an entire month. I'm even excited about seeing Karla, who admits to having rejected a late night call from me because the id showed "number unavailable." humph. I'll be coming home happy and healthy, though I am apparently getting over a bout with giardia. My doctor called to tell me my lab results from mid-service medical, and sure enough, there it was. Luckily I didn't feel out of sorts for it and the medicine hopefully worked.

Anyway I'll see most of you pretty soon I hope. Take care and I can't wait to get home. Carrie
