Loved this blog and photos
Hi there Laur, Just think this is almost 1 year since we were in Hawaii!! But I think even though the weather was too cold to much enjoy for someone like you who likes to be warm, it seems like Jeju was a beautiful trip and one I am so glad you were able to get to do. God bless Mrs. Eun (sp?) and her husband for hosting you on this!
