Hi all,

Looking at taking the family on two big trips the next two years. One ideally over Christmas in 2025 and the other during summer of 2026. For those who have been, which of the trips in the subject line would you do at which time and why? Assume 2ish weeks per trip. Kids will be between 10-17. Thanks!

Tokyo - March/Early April. Mild weather, cherry bloom
Thailand - Avoid July-Sept (rainy season) if visiting south/beaches.
Aus - totally dependent on your activity desires and where you are visiting. We had a great time in December, beach and GBR focused trip.
NZ-Went in September, able to ski treblecone, mild weather, and almost everything tourist related wide open. Sure there are other good times but those were my experiences.
