In Mammoth Lakes Safe and Sound

March 19, 2007 in California, Tours by Kyle Yates

After a long flight from Osaka to Seoul to Los Angeles, we’re finally here in Mammoth Lakes where we will go skiing in the morning.

Day1 Drive to Mammoth Lakes

The drive from Los Angeles was smooth one. We stopped a few times along the way, once for two hours of shopping for bathing suits and groceries, and then another time for gas, and another few times for picture taking. All in all, the drive took us a little over 7 hours including the stops.

There is leftover snow on the ground around Mammoth, but not much. Mostly the stuff left from snowplows piling it up on the sides of roads here and there. The mountain has plenty of snow though, and they expect more Tuesday. Good thing we rented a 4×4 Jeep Liberty to get us around, rain, sleet or snow. We should be good to go.

For dinner tonight, we ate Mexican that we bought at the grocery store and made ourselves. It was delicious!

Well, everyone is showering now and then we’re off to dreamland to get some much needed sleep before skiing tomorrow.

Post from Incheon Korea

The flight to Korea was nice and short. The food was good in flight and afterwards at the airport.

We leave for the flight to Los Angeles in about 45 more minutes so I had better wrap this up. The ladies are on the other computers sending emails to their family.

Incheon has a nice airport. It has been fixed up since my last trip here. There are many shops to visit, but the prices are more expensive than Japan. The food is relatively the same in price and very good. I recommend the tuna sushi for 4000 wan. It comes with a cup of soup and pickled daikon and kimchi. All good for the price.

If you want to do Internet, there are Internet cafes throughout the airport, some for $$ and some for free. I found a free one!

Time to go.
