Korea, 27 Oct 2010, Day 0

If you're travelling with your domestic helper, check visa requirements and apply for one early. Be prepared to make multiple trips.

For your travelling arrangements, go with WowCorea, a Korean tour agency based in Seoul. They took great care of our needs, and went to great lengths to assist us. You can count on them for everything, even in exigencies. http://www.wowcoreatour.com/

That's the three of us with Elvis (extreme left, back row), Tommy and Jina from WowCorea.

Make the Korea Tourism Office your next stop. We were very blessed to have the General Manager, Mr Park, help refine our itinerary for us.

We booked a Singapore-Jeju-Singapore air ticket, but broke the journey during the stopovers and was able to fly Singapore-Incheon, Seoul-Jeju, Jeju-Seoul, Incheon-Singapore for the price of one air ticket. :-)

We flew Asiana Airlines which, unlike other airlines that would consign all wheelchair users to the back of the plane, allocated seats in the first row giving us precious leg room. :-))

We took off at 10:35 p.m. -- Korea, here we come!
