then pesach showed up so those got cancelled
i wanted to go to japan from hkg and then come home. now i'm thinking to go the other way ... both countries appeal to me and the mrs... plus, there are some nice attractions my kids would also enjoy but i am nowhere near the planning stages yet... just figuring out the destinations and actual flights then i'll book lodging... after tsha b'av before school starts with enough time to recover from the jetlag :)

Shouldn't you measure based off what you booked?

If he booked a OW, he compares to OW. If he booked RT, he compares to RT.
