Yeah, but what about June, July, September and November 🤣
 
I had planned to be taking 6 weeks off starting today, but work would only give me the 1st week. So replanned for the first 6 weeks of next year.
The first flight (NRT-MEL) is the return for this week off, the rest is over Jan 1 to Feb 11map.gif
 
Each year we say we will cut down on travel but appears 2025 will not be that years

Jan - Scotland/EU/Thailand
March - Sydney
April - Perth/W.A.
May - Fiji
July/August - Scotland/EU/Thailand
November - Fiji
December - Scotland/EU/Thailand

Oh well 2026 may be quieter
 
AFF cruise Sydney to Hobart in Jan.

Morocco in Sept. I'm waiting for rewards seats SIN to anywhere EU to open up and will spend a handful of days wherever SQ drops me off. Options are BCN, CPH, FCO, FRA, CDG.
 
End of April to start of June:
Milan-Como-Switzerland-Slovenia-Croatia-Trieste-Bologna-Rome-La Spezia-Milan
It's mainly northern Italy but have included the side trips.
Otherwise just a week down the south coast (NSW) in January.
 
Feb to Japan, some hiking in the Japan Alps and onsen (hopefully in snow!). Then to Kyoto (long time no see!) and Hyogo for some winter crabbing 🤣

Want to cycle the Shimanami Kaido in Nov plus some onsen hopping in Yamaguchi and Northern Kyushu, but out of points as of now...hoping for a sale from CX or CI or SQ....

Shikoku is quiet for sure, but holy cow Kyushu is flooded with tourists....
I wanna do the Shiminami Kaido one day. I'd never do it during that cold of a season. Maybe October or April.

Kyushu has some tourists, but nowhere near as many as other places, especially in the middle of nowhere places we go to. Our favourite region to stay is Tohoku and some places there see like, a dozen western tourists a month if that.

Onsens and sentos are great.

Probably gonna do the winter travel at the end of next year or early 2026, because it's great.
