**sheepish grin**

I'm really sorry for the general lack of posts for the last few months. There's no excuse, other then that I've been really lazy...

I'm still pretty lazy, but hopefully as the warmer months approach my motivation will pick up - I work much better in the heat compared to the cold.

However to tide you over please feel free to have a look through over 400 hundred photos that I took while on holiday in Japan during July.

I'll be adding many more photos as I go through them, but in the mean time please enjoy, and don't forget to leave a comment, so I know you're having a look!

Japan Here We Come!

With Qantas' sale at the moment we have jumped on flights from Sydney to Tokyo for under $1000 each!

Two months from today we'll be on our way over. I have so much planning to do! Not the least of it getting time off work... Really should have organised that first...

We're planning on spending just over a week in Tokyo, including a few days at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea, and then a week in either Osaka or Kyoto, we haven't worked out the nitty gritty yet, but that's the basis of our trip.

We're very excited!
