Great weekend no doubt !!!!
Safe Travels to all
Trip report and photos to come soon.
Per mosburger's comment below, this may explain why our flights to/from Seoul were wide open and why exhibits/tours we went on were not that crowded.

Just saw reports that 39 million Koreans are expected to travel to their honetowns and villages during Chuseok this year.
Just did some research on Chuseok, in 2008 Chuseok is on Sun Sept 14th.

So now the question becomes, do we have a Korea Do III around the same dates (end of Sept) next year or do we have Korea Do III surrounding the dates of the Chuseok holiday (Sept 13-14, 2008) so that Seoul is not as busy??@:-)?@:-)
Any thoughts would be appreciated, because I would like to get back next year for sure and this time of year (Sept/Oct) was beautiful.
