Japan ...here we come

Last week Nick booked a 4week adventure for the two of us to Japan. This will be to celebrate 35 years together on 23rd of March. We are leaving Australia on 19 th. May and returning on 17th. June. We havent travelled overseas for 2 years and boy do we have itchy feet. We managed to get a great special flying Jet Star from Gold Coast to Osaka and return for the both of us for only $880 including taxes... too good to pass up. We will be couch surfing and global free loading and hopefully staying with friends of people we know. So with 10 weeks to go we are so excited and are starting to plan ...that is sometimes the best part of travelling. Yahoo!!!! Bring on Tokyo, Kyoto for the Geishas, mountains, streams , gardens, crazy people , high tech gizmos, onsens, hiking,cycling, Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms if we are lucky and are prepared to go to the northernmost tip of Japan., There is so much to see and experience with such a differing culture and food it is soooo exciting. Can't wait
