On Tuesday, Mar 4, SQ and I leave for JAPAN! I am super excited!! This is the longest vacation since our honeymoon 4-1/2 years ago... After the house, the wedding, the surgery, the house renovation, we are finally making time to go on this long-overdue vacation.
We are going on a 9-day Japan tour, which visits places like Toyko, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. The tour is a bit on the expensive side...but the main reason why we took the tour instead of venturing out on our own is because we are both too damn lazy to plan the itinerary. SQ never likes to any sort of planning - because he thinks that things "just happens." YEAH RIGHT!! Me - I like to have things settled before getting there - i.e. rough itinerary, places to stay, etc. But I have just been too spoiled from traveling so much for work...because whenever I travel, everything is all taken care of for me! But now since I am traveling personally, I have to do everything myself. I seriously don't have the time and patience to research & figure out where to go, where to stay, what to do, what to eat, etc. so hence the tour. Yep, you can say that I'm buying the convenience!
After the 9 day Japan tour, we will stop over in Hong Kong for 4-1/2 days! I was in HKG for about 2 days last time for work, back in Oct 07. But SQ hasn't been there since Sept 03...it'll be nice to go back for a visit. This time, we want to stop by the Big Buddha and Macau, which we didn't get to do last time. I'm reserving 1/2 suitcase and at least 1 full day for shopping!!
Counting down...2 more days!!
