My younger brother and I would go together without our parents. My brother possesses similar interest in Japan as me and for very similar reasons. This would be our first trip this far away from home without our parents, which is a huge step. This means responsibility for both of us, especially me since I am the older one. It also means more freedom and enjoyment; the sights my brother and I are interested in may be very different in taste compared to what our parents would want to see. Our stamina and young age will definitely play a role in the difference of our experience rather than if it was our entire family. This will also give us a chance to bond in ways that would not have happened otherwise. Perhaps, we will learn new things about one another that we never knew, as we would definitely show sides to ourselves that we would shy away from showing had our parents come along.

This trip will happen for two weeks in July 2015, from July 5th-19th to be exact. This is peak season for travel, so air plane tickets will be expensive, but this is the optimal time for the both of us. I will finish undergrad this year at Western University and my brother will be finishing 12th grade. So it is a transitionary summer for both of us and seems like it would be the best time to go on vacation before we get busy with the next phase in our life.
