Short Return to familiar but strange history from now…Ann Arbor!

Made a short hop-over trip to Ann Arbor, on the way returning to home. Back to AA for the first time in last 3.5 Years!

Everything was there as expected but there were some new stuffs..new business school building,

* DTW Airport

Maybe I have been here couple of times in my dream….For me, business school student at airport has always meant either being nervous or frustrating or refreshing…Anyhow everything has started from here and ended at here… The small food court just out of security check point I always grabbed BK at last min before the flight on the way to gate was still there….
@McNamara Terminal, DTW Airport

*B-School old and new

Krisege Library!!!! Countless hours during 2 years at there..had lots of feelings during my 30 min sitting at there.. 🙂 New building was great to watch, spectacular look and state of the art facilities but gave me a feeling “you don’t belong here”…. 🙂

@ Krisege Library & Winter Garden? in Business School

* Tree, Tree, and Tree

@ Gallup Park, Ann Arbor

@ Business School Court Yard

@Ponds at Georgetown

Tree at Gallup Park, B-School court, and Ponds at Georgetown…..

Biggest lesson or reminder I got from this emotional visit was…Yes the fact… that I was not afraid of anything during those old days…

and finally after a sleep in returning early morning flight….returned to scenery of the following..

Cascade Mountains

Back to “normal” now… As old Chinese saying, Life is like a sweet nap in Spring….一場春夢

Finding Lost Mattress

Everything has arrived in Seattle in perfect manner exact shape except one stuff Missed In Action. That one stuff being our mattress.. -_-;;

After endless calls to here and there, talking to these and those people, we found out…..

1) The mattress did not have a tracking sticker! (Dope!!!!)
2) However, was shipped to Seattle, but not included in final delivery because of not having tracking number.

Then, we found out that poor mattress traveled back around the US and finally is located at Orlando!! The other side of this country!! Ah!!

So this is the picture I got to confirm whether this is mine or not, and finally I said Yes with tears (^^)
Looks like it will take 2 weeks again to have it but welcome back to home my lovely mattress..

Final Good Bye: Bye Ann Arbor, Bye Detroit Airport, and Bye Michigan

결국 Michigan을 떠나는 날이 왔다.

정말 많이 그리워할 것 같다.. 항상 대부분 초조하게만 시간 보냈던 Detroit 공항.. 왠지 안타까움이 느껴졌고-그래도 돌아다녀보니 이만큼 훌륭한 공항도 드물다-, 비행기에서 밑에 바라보는데 Ann Arbor는 눈에 선명하게 보이고.. Packard St. 도 선명하게 보이고 그 위를 지나는데 눈물 핑 돌았다..

그동안 고마웠어요!

Finally, the day departing from Michigan has come.

I guess I will be missing this town a lot. DTW McNamara terminal, where I spent lots of times with nail biting minds, but now I realize this one maybe one of the best airport terminal in the world.

While up in the air, clear view of Ann Arbor, especially Packard St, caught my eye and touched my heart…

Thank you Michigan for great memories and I will be missing you!
