Yellow Mountain Scenic Area

At last, it's been 6 years since I've been to East Asia.  Tomorrow we have our flight with Asiana Airlines.  Our first stop is a layover in Seoul.  It's an overnight, but not a lot of time to actually see much.  The fact that it seems like the majority of the things to do in Seoul are shop and eat, I don't think we'll be missing too much.

I'm quite proud of myself, after a number of trips traveling with one bag I was wondering how difficult it would be packing for colder weather, but somehow I fit everything I need in my trusty Campmor with room to spare!  That includes clothes for cold mountain weather, business meetings, and rain.  I'm still debating if I need any rain gear since rain forecast are looking spotty.

My Packing List Should Be Good Unless I Run Into The Same Weather As My Last Time At Incheon Airport

Our plans are still up in the air for a good portion of our trip, but that's because it all depends on if we can get everything done in Hangzhou and Shanghai or if we'll need to head north.

I'll end this post with another handy tip for using Asiana Airlines' website.  The American site does not allow check-in until 24 hours in advance, but the European site allows for check-in 48 hours in advance (47 hours if it's daylight savings).  Thank goodness I discovered this yesterday.  I was able to change seats to closer to the front of the plane and get all aisle seats next to each other for the three of us.  It seems like 48 hours in advance is when Asiana releases blocked seats so I had a good number of seats to choose from.  I checked again today using the American website and just about all the seats that opened up were taken, expect for middle seats.
