So I’m heading off to Australia and Japan this October and November for the big holiday. I wasn’t really supposed to be doing this again, as after last years saving all the holidays for the wedding and honeymoon, which while amazing was knackering as we had to wait ages before either Katie and I could take some time off.
So this year, we planned to have lots of smaller holidays, to give us a break, relax and chop up the year to manageable bit size chunks. But sadly this year its not happened as I have three weddings to go to this year. One with our friends Robin and Laura (in September), Matt and Leanne (in August) and then my brother has popped the question to Amelia and that’s happening in October but it just to happens to be in Australia! Don’t get me wrong its great never been but it means I have had to save everything up again, grrr (only kidding Jon).
I don’t really mind, I have never been to Oz (Katie has) but we have decided to combine the trip with somewhere either on the way out or the way back and after much discussion and a grumble from Katie (she wanted to go to Fiji, but then I think all girls want to go to Fiji) we are heading to Japan. At the moment I’m building up research for hotel, guides and the like. I think from memory we are there for 6 days, 5 nights. Ideally I would like to spend maybe 2 days in Tokyo (Electric town is of course a major stop off, plus singing Karaoke till 5am) and then the rest going off on an adventure around Japan without spending a fortune.
