Actually, this has nothing to do with an alcohol affected decision. I'll start from the beginning
So yesterday, me and Mum get an email through from Jetstar with a "bring a friend for free" offer. We weren't able to see what flights were on the go til 5pm (the email arrived around 4:20pm), but soon after we checked to discover 2 for 1 flights to Japan. Now usually, the times are all wrong for us, being that they usually are on special before the winter starts, or after it finishes., but on checking, the dates were good... 5th of Feb to the 29th March.
After umming and arring about it for a couple of hours, we bit the bullet. $2375 for 4 people to get to Japan and back was too good to refuse, considering we paid $4800 last year. So the deal is done. We're heading back to the land of the rising sun next February for 18/9 days... Now the planning and saving begins. Fortunately, we're becoming professionals at this, so I won't be so stressed out about all the arrangements (I don't worry about much, but I do stress that I've done the best I can and everybody enjoys themselves). Given that the places we're staying at will be the same ones as this year (minus the expensive side trip to Kyoto), we should be able to get them early, and I don't have to worry if they are up to the task, because we know they are...
So there you have it. Less than 4 months after getting back, we've already started booking. That's nearly a record for us, as even after the first time, while we wanted to go back straight away, we didn't book anything until probably September
I'll try to keep you all informed.
