Probably not the most important thing I could be blogging about, but it is taking up our thOughts here at the mo: where to go forour summer holidays.
J will take his obon holidays from sept 14 and tack them onto the long weekend for a 4 or 5 day holiday. Nothing booked, and already some of our options seemingly booked out but here are our "choices"....where would you go with a misbehaving 4 year old, teething 1 year old and their exotic-craving mummy? :
1) Taiwan (Taipei)
2) Korea (seoul. Or more expensive to go to jeju island)
3) Saipan
4) Miyako-jima, Okinawa, WITH in-laws most likely *worried about typhoons
5) Macau *actually too expensive, boohoo but I would love to go. Not sure if there is enough to do for 5 days tho
6) roadtrip to Shikoku
7) Hokkaido
8) Los Angeles for 1.09man yen( not including surcharge)* jetlag would be hell for kids tho, right?
Leaving it to the last minute, most if the cheap package tours to Korea, Taiwan and Saipan are full anyway. And I have been to Korea, LA and Macau as well as Hokkaido....
Hmmmmm what to do?????

Taiwan!
ReplyDeleteGreat food, somewhere you haven't been, a little bit exotic, and different enough from Japan that L will get all excited and forget he's teething.
Taiwan is my no. 1 choice too!! But having problems finding cheap enough package tour....
ReplyDeleteGlad you could comment here again - oops just realized was yet to reply to your FB msg（≧∇≦)
I would bypass Shikoku if you are worried about typhoons. They all seem to go over them. I don't plan on traveling overseas for a holiday (read as country other than NZ) with children for at least another two years. It's just too painful. They are completely insane. All three of them. I envy your 勇気. Hmmmm. how bout Guam? Isn't that close-ish and kind of cheap?
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest guam too!
ReplyDeleteTaiwan would be nice as well - personally I would love to go to Korea as have never been. So if you go, please take me too!
Yeh, been to Guam (gw: it was actually with Tom Kawai and Matsumoto-(?)San, about 3 weeks after started JET...took 40+ jhs and a couple of city councillors, whom I translated for at like three functions the entire week, lol!
ReplyDeleteJust got another callback from a travel agent that the cheap tour to Korea I inquired about is booked out (however for an extra 2man each they can do the "superior class" tour.....convenient? Lol.
Whatever we decide, Lulu, I will be sure to swing by your place on the way to the airport and pack you into our luggage :-) seems like you could use a holiday too ;p
