Four more sleeps!!!

(From keepcalm-o-matic)


On Good Friday, 29 March, we fly for Singapore. We'll have three and a half warm, humid, tropical days there, and then we go on to Japan for twelve days, where the cherry blossoms are out but it's still pretty frickin' cold.

The whole thing has snuck up on us, but now that it's nearly time, I'm getting giddily excited.

We'll be relying fairly heavily on Em, JD's sister, to make suggestions/recommendations, and possibly even be our tour guide (she's been living in Tokyo for nigh-on a dozen years), but we've got a few things we're keen to do: Studio Ghibli museum (closed Tuesdays), one (or more) of the half dozen science museums, onsen with or without snow monkeys, Edo Wonderland (learn how to throw a ninja star! dress up like a samurai! closed Wednesdays), Kyoto, traditional stuff  as well as the technological wonderland stuff.

For our brief stopover in Singapore, we're planning a full day on Sentosa (luge, beaches, cable car, dolphins ziplines, indoor skydiving, oh my!), probably a full day at the science museum, including the WaterWorks exhibition (note to self: closed Mon 1 Apr), some time (breakfast?) at the zoo, some shopping, some dining, some just plain walking around. I don't think we'll be bored!

And we leave in 85 hours or so! Woo-hoooo!
