Okay, so it's not exactly spring break yet but it is coming up in a few weeks. So we are planning on a trip but not quite sure where we want to go yet. Of course it does depend on how full some flights are but currently here are our options:
Australia: Kind of a long flight to Sydney, about nine hours but it is in the same time zone as Tokyo so It wouldn't be a huge adjustment. We could fly at night and sleep on the plane and be ready to go the next day. It is definitely easier to get to Australia from Japan than the U.S. so if we are going to make a family trip there, this is the time to do it. Haven't really looked at activities there yet but many of our friends here have been to Australia and highly recommend it.
Bali or Phuket: Both of these are resort areas, Bali in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand and are also highly recommended by friends. Much closer to Japan than the long flight to Australia and only an hour or so time difference. These two places are also ones I'm sure we wouldn't visit from the U.S. so we must get there from Japan. Beach, sand, ocean in a tropical climate; sounds pretty good doesn't it? The shorter flight makes this a potential for a long weekend trip too.
So, what do you think?

Even though Australia is a long way from the US, I think it's more likely that you'd take a trip to Australia from the US than go to Bali. So if you don't go to Bali now, you might never go, whereas if you don't go to Australia, you'll probably get there someday.
A very good point, LBG and likely true enough. I've talked to somebody who was trying to go to Bali and said they scrapped thier plans because there was no room at the inn. Any of the inns. Australia is proving expensive, remaining hotel rooms go for $200+ USD per night. Yikes!
Sounds like you already picked Sydney, right mate? Hope you have a g'day!
Yes, Australia it is. We'll throw a few shrimps on the barby for you, mate.
