What nuclear war?

You either flatter Mr Kim too much or you've been thinking too much. Either way you're not in touch with reality

I was in japan earlier this year when NK launched one of the lot missiles in the Sea of Japan - oh well, live in the present my friend

Japan- no...coming from someone in aviation intel. Enjoy your fam

Went to Japan once a year since 2014, absolutely loved the place. You are fine

Interesting logic, "I went to Japan 3 years ago and didn't get nuked, so you should be fine. "

I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
