Travel: Korea - General

[MMM]

stayhome:

We are going on 19 June. Will wait and see how's the suitation. We had bought the travel insurance, so if the war start we can get back the fund. Hope everything is fine.

We are going on the 19th June too till 26th June. As mine is free & easy, I've not bought travel insurance but that is a good idea.

[stayhome]

We travel the same period.


There is another way for you as your is F & E. Call the airline to check can you change the date and what are the charges. Then call or write to hotel, check can you change the date and until when. These were what we did for last year H1N1 outbreak in June. I changed the flight with just admin charge only as the new date are cheaper then our fare. The admin charge was around $200. Then changed the hotel stay to Aug without any extra charge. So we had a more preasant trip in Aug last year, as we know later the virus are not really so serious as it was told to be.

Actually I am not too sure. I actually use my miles to redeem free ticket to Seoul. I've not tried cancelling it before. Wonder besides admin charge, will my points be forfeited :?


Hubby meanwhile is flying in from US so he can at most not stay over.

I choose a corporate hotel so I think not too bad as well.... Think it'll be disappointing if the trip didn't go through.

On the other hand, I am actually in US the week before due to some last minute meeting. Told my boss that I have to reach Spore by 18th June to catch my flight on 19th June.

Are you on a package tour??? Will you be there in Seoul only?

I am still doing homework on where to go. Hubby was like... is it too many days. I told him to take life easy.... wake up late, go look look see see and enjoy the food. That itself is an enjoyment. No need to think must go here and there,etc.... so result oriented.

MMM,


Ya we follow CTC this time. It's Korea + Jeju 8 days trip you can see the itinerary thru CTC web site :http://www.ctc.com.sg/tour.php?tourcode=KOR8

I'm lazy to plan a tour this time so decide to follow tour. We are more to see the country and get somethings to do, if not my 2 dd will complaint. I guess there are a lot to do in Seoul itself at very casual timing. I'm personally feel that our trip don't have enough time to cover seoul city. There are more things to see, may be next time we can go again for F & E just for Seoul. So pros and cons, enjoy your trip.

Thanks Mathspark, I was thinking about this too... But if it is that time of the month... will it be inconvenient to go there???

[mathsparks]

no worries, mmm.


you’ll be loaned a set of shirt/bermudas, and in the common sauna area, you’ll be fully clothed. I highly recommend this as you can bond and relax with yr family at the various saunas…not all are sizzling hot ones, there’s the nice cool forest room where its really comfy for young ones.

But at the spa and massage area, you’ll hv to shed yr inhibitions, hmmm…i suppose you can rely on that trusty thingy???

And it’s easy to get there, get off the station, ask at the info counter and u shld be directed to leave the building on the right, turn right, and walk till you come to a small road, the spa is just across the road.

Thanks mathsparks, I'm afraid no time to try this trip as we are following package tour. Will try if we revisit Seoul.
