This past weekend I was able to drag Jonathan (kicking and screaming) away from the squadron and up to Seoul for a "romantic" weekend. We stayed at the Dragon Hill Lodge, the U.S. Army hotel in Seoul, and up-graded to a suite, complete with a jacuzzi tub, rose petals, and complimentary champagne. So, okay, it wasn't a Hilton but, for Korea, it was really nice.
This is the exterior of the Dragon Hill Lodge, located right smack in the middle of Seoul. Perfect.
As soon as we opened the door to our suite, we saw rose-petals :)
Complementary champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries (which only Jonathan got to enjoy)
The view from our window. Again, its still Korea, but at least we got a view of the mountains instead of smoggy, down-town Seoul. . .
Our rose-petal covered sheets and fuzzy robes :)
Relaxing in our suite. . .
We had a very nice, relaxing night and we were all prepared to go out and explore Seoul the next morning . . . however, upon arriving in Itaewon, we soon discovered that EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING) was closed. Who knew the Lunar New Year was such a huge deal? I mean, it was nice that the streets were deserted (when its normally walking elbow to elbow with people), but we had no idea that EVERYTHING would be closed. Oh well. . . at least I was able to pull Jonathan out of work for 24 hours. . . maybe next time I'll try for 48 ;)
