After considering several options for our year end trip, we have finally decided on Seoul and Jeju. The process involved was definitely not a smooth sailing one (as always) so it is indeed a huge relief when we finally booked our air tickets from Pricebreaker at the NATAS travel fair 2 days ago.
We'll be departing for Incheon on the 1.30am flight on 14 Dec and leaving Seoul on 24 Dec 8.20am flight. The timings are not ideal but Korean Air offers the cheapest flight so we decided to grab it first. This trip is going to be an exciting one due to a number of reasons:
- we have never been to Korea before
- we can't speak Korean
- we are going there on our own
- this is the first time we are visiting a country in the winter season
There are lots of things we need to do and I thought it would be a good idea to document the planning process in this blog. Hopefully, someone who is planning a trip to Korea may find the information useful.... For a start, I have drawn up a list of "tasks" that we need to settle:
1) Plan the itinerary (I have a rough idea on the places to visit so this should be quite easy)
2) Book the domestic flight from Gimpo to Jeju
3) Look up information on car rental (for self drive in Jeju)
4) Source for food and restaurants
5) Source for accommodation
6) Prepare winter wear
7) Book tickets for performance (where necessary)
That's about all for now. So, if any readers have good experiences staying in a nice hotel in Seoul/Jeju or have tried some yummy food over there, do drop me a note! Any kind recommendations will be greatly appreciated!
