I actually left Phnom Penh on Wednesday. We boarded the plane Tuesday night but didn’t take off until after midnight. We flew six hours to the Inchon airport in Seoul.
Modern airports such as Inchon/Seoul are like theme parks and malls with runways. Architects vie with each other to include live trees and plants, playgrounds, food courts, museums, even a waterfall. The photo above is Inchon.
Inchon airport was really foggy when we landed. Even the buildings just across the tarmac were almost invisible.
From Seoul we flew 14 hours to Detroit, Michigan (above) where we had to reclaim our luggage and pass through passport control because it was our port of entry into the United States. More and more of the passport control functions are being handled electronically with scans and face photos. When I landed in Minneapolis the TSA agent never touched my passport.
From Detroit it was a 47-minute flight to Louisville where David and Emily picked me up and took me to Nazareth Home Clifton where I am staying.
