The Plan!

So we are off on the 23rd for our trip. First stop is Australia for a week. No sightseeing during that time, just lots of quality time with family. Might try and refresh my Australian accent since I'm not really comfortable with this English accent I seem to be acquiring. I say!

On the 31st we fly on to Tokyo, where will be spending the first 4 days. We will be off to Fuji-san (no, not all the way up, still too cold for that), a walking tour of Kamakura and best of all (for me!) will be Akihabara. A Mecca for geeks to congregate and purchase things they should never rightfully need.

We then fly north, all the way up to Sapporo where we will spend another 4 days, travelling around Hokkaido. This will include Sapporo, Noboribetsu (hot springs!), Lake Toya and Hakodate.

Travelling south by train, we will be staying in a string of cities; Hirosaki, Matsushima, Yamagata and Nikko before finally arriving back to Tokyo for our flight home.

My only fear is that I've packed in too much travel for just 2 weeks. But it just wouldn't be me if I didn't overdo it at least a little :)
