Well folks, this has been an eventful year of travel for us again! 

We always have plans every month for a small vacation , we think it`s good for a mental heath break from working and the every day grind of life , while making memories to last a life time ! 

This year so far we have travelled the following places :

Dec 2021-Jan 2022 - Yokohama, Kanagawa and Izu, Shizuoka .

Mishima Skywalk, with my mum-in-law, my husband ( taking the picture ) and the dogs sharing the carriage ( Karin and Mei-chan) , in Izu, Shizuoka. 

Feb 2022 - My brithday trip-- we went to Shibu Onsen Town in Nagano Prefecture

March 2022 -- We tried out a new tent and camping style and we did a trip to my mother-in-laws home town in Inashiki city, Ibaraki Prefecture.

April 2022-- Early in the month we celebrated our wedding anniversary by going to Yokohama again, and couple weeks later we did a trip to Gifu and Aichi prefectures -- spending time in Nagoya city for a day or so.

May 2022 -- we just got back from camping/ glamping in Sanjo city in Niigata prefecture at the Snowpeak headquaters -- it was really great campground with a nice spa and food as well.

I was hoping to do posts about these indvidual trips seperately and adding a few more pictures. I have been really slow to keep up with posting about it, but I hope to get to it in the near future....

To answer this weeks question for the blog post : in June 2022 -- we are thinking to go back to  Shanjo city to expereince camping again at Snowpeak, and then in July 2022 -- we were thinking to go to Hokkaido for a long trip but we have had to postpone that trip until another time due to a shortage of staff at my husbands work --- so option 2 -- we are hoping to go to Yamagata and Miyagi Prefectures instead for a shorter trip ... we will see ... anything might happen but that is the current plan ... come back to the blog and watch for posts about past and upcoming trips ! 

Life is short, so lets work hard and play hard ! 

Cheers,
