Yasin loved his last snow school . He can already stop and turn at low speeds but if we get a snow school he doesn't like then it would be a big problem. Imran can't ski and still isn't reliably toilet trained so it would probably be creche for him (unless we can find a snow school that's ok with nappies) which he woul be cool with but not as happy as spending the day swimming with us.

DH and I have been wanting to go to Japan for so long so it's hard to turn our back on the dream *sigh*
Go to Japan hun. I can tell by your post that this is where you really want to go. I am not being mean to Imran but he is so little and will hardly remember the holiday and you an take him swimming anywhere in Australia. He can still have some plays in the snow with you guys and make snowmen and throw snowballs.

I think that if you and DH have sold part of the business and its your dream to go tot Japan then go there and have a fantastic time. You deserve it!
