These two months after our New Years trip have found me lazy and
lethargic, hibernating from the coldest, snowiest, darkest days of winter under
my kotatsu. So, to raise my spirits, I am going to talk about my upcoming
travel plans.
This weekend, my husband and I will visit Niseko ski resort for the HAJET winter
meeting. There is ample time to enjoy the slopes, so we are excited to rent
some gear and hit the powder. Literally, we're going to hit it with our bodies
when we fall down because we aren't great skiers. We've each been skiing twice,
but the only thing I remember is "pizza" and I'm not quite sure what
it does. Bunny hills, here we come! Almost all kids in Hokkaido own skis and
there is a skiing unit in gym class. When my students ask me, "Can you
ski?" I always say, "A little!" but I think I should just say,
"No."
Mid-March my parents-in-law are visiting. We will give them the grand
tour of our town, spend one night in Hakodate, one at the Noboribetsu Hot
Spring Resort, one night in Otaru, and two nights in Sapporo. I can't wait to
share my Japan experience with family!
And while May seems a world away, I am looking forward to our Golden
Week trip to the tropical paradise of Okinawa. I have already booked our
plane tickets (great deals with Peach), our beach house, and hostel book-ending our stay. We hope to snorkel,
try some Okinawa food, and relax on the beach.
I can't wait!
