In less than 30 hours I will be boarding a plane in Winnipeg headed to Calgary. Once in Calgary I will clear US customs and fly to Seattle. I will wait four hours in Seattle and then fly to Seoul, where I will be for 9 days or so. Then to the island paradise of Jeju which I will call home for the next twelve months.

I think I have everything. Visa, passport, some cash, clothes, deodorant (which is not readily available in Korea), other toiletries, my laptop with adaptors and a book or two to read. I can’t think of anything I am missing but I have this feeling of dread that I have overlooked something major.

What in the world have I forgotten?
