Fukuoka, Here We Come

It is very lucky that all my boys are on school holiday this week and last week.  So we will go to Fukuoka as a family.  We have not done this the last trip to Rome.  Usually, we do a trip every 3 years as we need to accumulate enough air miles.  But nowadays even with air miles, the "free" tickets still cost a pretty penny with fuel surcharge and airport taxes. 

This year the miles were going to expire.  So we book the tickets in February.  Tonight, we have to do red eye.  Unfortunately, only one flight a day to Fukuoka.  We have not been there, so we thought it is nice to try a new place.  B3 just reminds us that tonight is his first trip to Japan.  I did not realise.  The two older boys used to go to Narita over long weekends when their small Ee Ee is not married.  We can get free air tickets and live in her room when she flies.  That benefit is gone once she is married.

Fukuoka, I understand is a small city.  We can walk to our hotel from the airport!  So we will see how this place is like.
