It is 6 pm in Seoul and the airport is busy. Happy Birhday to Shap, my wonderful husband and travel companion. It has  the feel of any other airport in the world, even a Dunkin Donuts is here. I would recommend Korean  Air to anyone; clean, polite and business class was a god send. Found an amazing discount and it was worth the extra money. Not that much more. Sleeping prone actually does help your outlook. 

Now that I am far away from home my anxiety of being torn between Vermont and the world has lessened. Watching people here in the airport you realize how homogenous we have become. I can pick out clothes and bags from all over but many of the products are American. We are all in this together and no matter what Trump says, I do not see how we can untangle and move backward to a world without international trade.
