It must have been something like more than 10 years ago since we took a proper family holiday - not going to visit grandparents (in KL), go visit Shar (in BKK) or visit HK (our almost second home) but a proper holiday to a destination solely for the purposes of eating, shopping and (yikes!) sightseeing!!
The last one I can recall was going to Sydney and Melbourne, just before I left for university in 1999. That seems like such yonks ago....Back in those days, it was only the 2 of us - me and Shar.
Now we have KLL. She's completely changed our lives and we're all so excited to go on this holiday.
So where are we going? We're visiting Japan!
Having spent countless hours on the internet trawling through websites, restaurant reviews, ryokans, hotels (thank you google translate!), flights and all the necessary preparations for such a long awaited trip, we've finally nailed down our itinerary and hotels and I'm flying off in less than 12 hours! Shar is flying in with Na from BKK, mum, dad and KLL from SG and me and O from LDN. What an international family we have become...travelling from different countries, crossing timezones, to meet in one place.
More importantly, this trip is also to celebrate dad's 60th birthday!! We decided to forgo the predictable birthday "surprise" party/large banquet but instead, do a small gathering of 7 in Japan.
In my opinion, this is one trip we will not forget and will cherish the memories in time to come. Remember: nothing is more important than family. (just like how I still recall all the wonderful times we had in Sydney and Melbourne).
So why not start making plans of taking a family holiday this year?
