My transpacific trek is over and I’m in the hotel in Dameisha. Our route to Seoul took us north of the Kamchatka peninsula and north of Japan, and then the pilot had to approach Incheon airport from the west because of strong winds. The mascot picture is from the Korean newspaper, for the 2011 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) championships that starts at the end of the month in Daegu, Korea. It was 7 pm local time as we arrived into Seoul.
