RobBright 35 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Put my leave form in today, hope it gets approved. Dec 23 - Jan 14. Few days down south in Fukuoka sight seeing and riding, then Hakuba/Shiga maybe Myoko. I'm off during that same time Pete. Might have to meet up at some point again! Still not entirely sure as I don't think Hokkaido will happen this year but I'm off from Dec 13 - Jan. 10 (and then random weekends etc during the rest of the season). I'll probably spend most of the xmas/new year time around Hakuba (provided it snows!). Random weekends are still undecided. Cool, you can come and pick me up sometimes then and take me with you.
