2026 travel plans

Late to this party I know but have two trips planned and booked for 2026.

1. Jan 2026 (actually commencing NYE 2025, so I suppose technically doesn't belong here). QF points on JAL in PE to Japan for ShelleyB-son and I (PE both ways in/out of Tokyo). ShelleyB-son and I will be there for 24 days. Mr. ShelleyB joining late (revenue flight in Y on JAL) and staying a few days longer. We'll be heading first to Tohoku (Morioka, Hirosaki, Hachinohe), then Yokohama before returning to Tohoku (Sendai) when Mr. ShelleyB joins us and followed by Nagano. Mr. ShelleyB will then head to Hiroshima and Fukuoka for a few days solo travel before flying home from Fukuoka on CI (revenue flight in PE).

2. April 2026. South Island of NZ with ShelleyB-son and ShelleyB-mum. This is driven by the interests of ShelleyB-mum who wants to go to NZ but hates to travel alone. We'll be splitting our time between Queenstown, Dunedin and Te-Anau. Also a short trip as ShelleyB-mum not into long trips (10 days only).

That is very likely to be it for 2026 beyond a few short domestic trips yet to be planned.
