Never again!

I'm a maybe. I seem to be rapidly over-committing myself to vacations for next year. Will probably book a room at the Doubletree on points as a placeholder.

One of these days we will actually get to Japan. In the meanwhile, we hope to get to this Do and have held a room at the Doubletree Naha.

I’ll be there! I‘m a bit ambivalent about another post-DO in Korea, but I’ll probably be game.

I'm going to try to make this (and the post-DO), but need to wait until I've allocated my vacation days for 2018. I'm already committed to using 7 days for OZ Fest & NUE DO and need to do the math to be sure I don't go into a deficit.

Definitely plan to have a tour of at least one distillery although the ones of been to all have Awamori, which is a downside!

Thanks for organizing again! whilst im staying out of the discussion of joining the DO for now (Im a last minute person), I may suggest post-DO at TPE (which is served by Skyteam (CI), *A (BR) and LCCs (Peach and whatever else)) as a change from SEL that already happened this year.

Just a suggestion- since flight options they should be fairly similar.

(Ducks and run - suggesting since i didnt see any formal Korea planning)

I'ld love to be part of this if possible? I haven't done an FT do outside of Oz so it'll be fun. I will be in Japan during Easter so this will fit in nicely, post-Do nearby could be a possibility but I will need to reposition back to KIX for the return sector.
