We have 3 weeks in Bali booked and was excited when I saw a thread about what to do in Bali on AFF but turned out to be spam.

Then a repositioning cruise from Sydney to SF in April. Was going to visit Yosemite and they fly back. Wondering if we should cancel cruise? Seems like a long time to get to SF - 23 days!
Then Japan in Sep/Oct and DONE4 around the world for the rest of 2027 and into 2028.
Open to ideas of where to go!

We have 19 days in Bali too. Overkill?

Really? On a repositioning cruise? Wondering if we might get bored or cabin fever.

I've been given spousal approval, and now employer approval, to plan a birthday trip to Japan in August. Will have to take the boy who'll be 8 by then.
It'll be a trip based around seeing a soccer match at the new stadium in Hiroshima. But those fixtures won't be available until June so a lot of the planning has to wait until then. Going to book flights that guarantee me two weekends to at least make it easier.
But there's likely to be baseball, Pokemon related things, guitar shopping, and a little sight-seeing off the beaten track.

Booked a trip to ( primarily) Germany for May to watch the IIHF World Championship (ice hockey) finals weekend in Dusseldorf. Couple of days in Brussels as it was the nearest airport with J award availability via SQ, then a few days each in Dusseldorf, Berlin, Munich and Vienna. Coming home with QR and looking forward to trying Qsuites for the leg home from Doha.

Not at all @Sydney

But if you aren't fan of warmer climes might be a stretch eh @VPS

Look into Kanto park and how to book that. Different pokemon centres also have different specialties so hitting all the different ones in cities is actually fun.

Remember August is hot and humid AF. You can get 35 with 100% humidity so plan accordingly.

It should be peak baseball season so games should be everywhere and it's honestly a fun experience (and not just for the actual game). Like I see Baystsrs thisbyear for example is collaborating with the Pokemon company and have whole bunch of themed stuff at the game.

Mid August is also when people are on holidays so plan accordingly if you aren't going to be in major population centres (lots of small businesses may be closed).
