A kid at our school came down with the Swine Flu, poor guy/girl, and school was cancelled for a few days. So Tipton and I immediately bought a ticket to Jejudo, or Jeju Island, for a last-minute mini-vacation. Jeju is basically Korea's Hawaii.
We stayed in the Shilla Hotel off Jungnam Beach on the south end of the island between the Hyatt and Lotte Hotel. It was a resort area so everything was sooo expensive! We ate an all-you-can eat buffet without realizing the price. Nor did we know at first that it was all-you-eat...$65/plate! woops. But hey, what can ya say when you're on a vacation on a sub-tropical island. Well I guess I could've asked Tipton if he wanted to wash or dry back in the kitchen.
The backyard of the hotel was a beautiful park with palms, pool, jacuzzi, bar, petting zoo, walking paths leading down to the beach, weird animal statues, waterfall, neat white yellow and orange catfish, asian people, russian people among others..
The second day we walked a trail to see a temple, an intricately decorated bridge, and two or three waterfalls. We wanted to see more of the nature stuff like that but didn't have a lot of time, energy, or money since we took this trip before pay day!
