The one reason why I travel! Toshi-kun said you can handle it witih just HALF of what you originally planned, so that's doable, right?

well if you do travel with at least one another person and share all the room costs then you can actualy splurge a little on accommodations such as i did when i went...if you travel with somebody and stay somewhere nice but not super luxurious...then you can really go nuts and spend that money saved on better meals, shopping, partying, sighteeing and the like.

Wyn-chan, if you can wait 5-6 years, I'll go with you :) Once my kids have finished schooling, i'll have a fair bit more spare cash.... unless I can convince my boss to send me there on business beforehand.. :fingerscrossed:

That's the number Q and I figured it would be per person for two weeks...

No sweat... Been waiting this out for much too long. :banghead:

Yeah I spent that much and I stayed at really nice hotels while in Tokyo and ate well, and also went to Hakone too...because I was able to share the costs with my friend. If you stayed at more modest hotels you could probably go to more destinations.....I just went to Tokyo & Hakone...and spent a day in Yokohama...but it's close enough where we returned back to Tokyo by bullet train.

That's what I figured too. :puppydog:

So I got an HD LCD TV with my rewards points rather than a ticket to Japan. WHen I go I want to be able to splurge a little on the food! :beaten:

for me it was spend money on a first class ticket or stay in two 5 star luxury hotels ~ no brainer. :)

Maybe you should have stayed at one of the very few 6 stars hotels in the world, Mandarin Oriental in Nihonbashi. And btw, the Peninsula Hotel close to the Imperial Palace is scheduled to open in September. :woot:

Ready to go to the movies.... :woot:

Hope my niece shows up on time. :sweat:

I can wait. I've got a lot of patience (I teach highschool kids, after all ;)). Or at least I can take a second trip by that time. But I know what you mean with the kids and all. But then, I might have a couple of my own in that much time... :sweat:

when I went the Mandarin Hotel wasn't open yet. Hell why didn't I stay at the Ritz Carlton in Tokyo Midtown...they have the most expensive room in all of Japan....for 20,000 dollars a night! Too bad it just opened up a few months ago And too bad I don't got 300,000 dollars lying around. :P

I've seen pictures of the Mandarin online though...it looks fabulous.

Looks like SOMEBODY has ANOTHER 3-day weekend :grumble: [/list:u]

Yup.

I've got too many hours piled up and if I don't use 'em, I'll lose 'em... If my cheapskate boss would be willing to buy out my near-overaccrued time, I wouldn't have to take the three-day weekends...

There's a guy at work who's got nearly 400 hours of vacation time accrued... :sweat: I'm surprised he hasn't been forced to use up that time.

After 3 hours of prep, I've finally dolled myself up to look presentable. Now I'm off the the birthday party!
