Saturday 7 July and Sunday 8 July 2007 - New York to Seoul

Packed! This has become a bit of an art form - trying to even out the weight between all the bags and fit everything in! We had pre-booked a car to drive us to the airport so we had a chance to drive across the Queensboro Bridge and do a bit more sightseeing on the way to JFK International.

Long wait for the departure of our plane at 1355 on 7th and long flight - 13 hours - but Korean Air is a pleasure to fly with. Our only complaint was that we had numb bums by the time we arrived at Incheon International Airport at 1730 on 8 July.

After clearing immigration and customs, which took about an hour, we messed about finding the correct bus for the hours drive to our hotel, the Sofitel Ambassador. We were pretty beat and stayed in our room which has a fabulous view of the city. Ian found an Australian channel on the TV and was happy to hear a home grown accent and an update on Australian news. We had no Internet connection in the hotel in New York, so I checked our email and updated the blog before calling it quits and going to bed.
