Japan Plan Canned
Temporarily. But we think sensibly.
Basically, we've been completely sideswiped on the Japan Plan (or 'Japlan' as we like to call it) by my sudden move to the US. According to the current plan, the Mrs is coming to me for the month of February then a week later going to Japan for five weeks. Three weeks after he leaves, I then leave the US to be back in Blighty for all of three days before I go to join him for two weeks.
It's probably going to kill us, and at the very least might mean that we each start our respective breaks utterly shattered, which seems daft to both of us. On top of which, we want to do some travelling whiel he's in the States with me, and financially it all starts to look a bit mad.
So with a certain amount of regret, we've decided to postpone until 2009. It seems like spring is the time to go, so that makes a year's postponement the logical thing to do. A pity, but at the end of the day, wholly logical.
