Oh, one more thing, it was always my concern about the children missing school, especially DD, as she is in final year.
We are leaving Wednesday evening, which means two days before end of term. I knew this may clash with exam week, and it does, but DD received her exam timetable today and she only has one exam on the Thursday and nothing scheduled for Friday.
There should be no problem doing the Thursday one early, so she will have all exams done with and be able to relax on her holiday!!
What's the cherry blossom predictions like or is it still a bit early for them to be posted yet?
Next on the list is to organise Internet - we have 4 smart phones (poor DH has a work provided brick) - I had thought of getting visitor sims for each of them, so that we can split up and still contact each other, but think I will go for a portable wifi instead, with one sim in case we want to split up, we are unlikely to split five ways, unless someone gets lost, we will just go old school wtih this and arrange a meeting place.
Pretty sure I will go with econnect for this..
Aussie Wendy said:That's good. Its always a bit stressful waiting to find out if there's an issue and she can go off and have fun! Great news on the yen front too-think we paid $1.20 per Y100 when we went this time last year. What's the cherry blossom predictions like or is it still a bit early for them to be posted yet?
There is one other problem that has me slightly concerned and I am not wanting to mention "out loud" but I have been noticing on the news there is lots of talk a out North Korea threatening strikes against the US - and their bases in Hawaii Okinawa and Guam.
as I said I am concerned and have checked department of foreign affairs, there is no advice against travelling - so I should just stop watching the news I guess.
