I am seriously considering the Tokyo deal. I don't think I will have anyone to go with, but I don't mind going on my own.

Yeah, I've got a friend that's planning to take advantage of that deal by herself, even if her friend decides not to go. Just too good a deal to pass up.
Here's my 'case file' that I've built for Japan....
<<< Best place to find hotels, ryokans, minshukus or pensions in Japan
http://www.jalan.net (Japanese only)
http://www.secret-japan.com/forum/ho...okan-t439.html how to use Jalan.net
<<< Tokyo Yokohoma Guide
http://metropolis.co.jp/vg/travel_tips.html
<<< Good Japan Guide
http://www.japan-guide.com
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e623a.html
<<< Things I want to do in Japan....
- underwater roller coaster at Cosmo World in Yokohoma Bay
- sumo wrestling match
- karaoke
- buy beer from a vending machine
- watch a kabuki play
- ride a bullet train (Tokyo to Kyoto in 2 hours @ 300km/h!)
- sleep in one of those capsule hotels
- I'm guessing the cherry blossoms have already fallen off (end of May)
- Okinawa hot springs
- Become a samurai
- Mt. Fuji
- Yakushima Island looks pretty cool (good hikes here too I think)
- Japanese snow monkeys Jigokudani Onsen near Yudanaka or Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park

haha, I'm thinking I have to take advantage. Everyone says travel when you're young. I'm 25 and not getting any younger. A trip to Japan would be an experience of a lifetime and there is a high probability I will never get to go back there again...especially at this price.
Just have to clear some stuff up at work.

Okay, the GF just booked it with trip cancellation for $36. Can't pass that deal up, we can figure things out later.
Edit: It is the same price for two weeks as well

Menorca, Spain is the ideal vacation destination for tourists seeking a genuine Spanish holiday. The Island is fairly quiet and has a relaxed atmosphere even during peak holiday season. Menorca offers miles of sandy beaches. The beaches of Menorca tend to be quieter and less crowded than the beaches of the nearby Islands of Mallorca and Ibiza. The best beaches that Menorca has to offer are found on the eastern coast of the South shore.
The southern shore of the island features a number of popular resorts. Whereas the rocky northern shore is dotted with sleepy fishing villages for those of us who want to enjoy the culture of the island on a first hand basis.
Menorca has been largely protected from industrial development thus making it a haven for nature lovers. Menorca also offers excellent bicycle trails, which crisscrosses through out the island offering spectacular views of the waterfront and the island.
The Island enjoys Mediterranean weather characterized by hot summers and mild winters. Tourist tend to flock to Menorca during July and August, when the island reaches its hottest temperatures and offers sunny days with over eleven hours of sunlight. Menorca is quite an enjoyable tourist destination even during the off-season, where the temperatures never falls below zero degrees. During the winter months the temperatures range from a low of six degrees Celsius to a high of fourteen degrees.
Overall the quiet atmosphere of Menorca offers one of the top vacation destinations in Spain for tourists, who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the other Spanish beaches and cities.
