On the 9th of January we will jet off to Japan for 3 weeks of skiing, sushi and Japanese culture (both the weird and the wonderful). We have purchased our flights and booked the accommodation - all that is left to do is fill our days with adventures and spectacular sights. We can't wait to share our memories with you and promise to send you photos. Darren and Sarah xx
