Destination
Aogashima sounds interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aogashima

How and why
I'm between jobs and have some time free, about a week.
Feasibility
- Think of some stuff to do and/or an event to centre the trip around - Aogashima is an island south of Tokyo, it's a volcanic island
 
- What dates? - Depart August 2nd or 3rd (after Martin's birthday party on the 1st)
- Arrive back in time for Smash, which is the 9th and 10th
- Need some time to prepare for Smash cosplay beforehand
 
- Check prices for airfares - Can be done for about $1000
- Tax return just came in, liquid cash is available
- Jetstar again
 
- Apply for leave - Not applicable
 
- Thrash out a rough timeline of where to be on which days
- Figure out where you'll be and book accommodation
- How much is accommodation going to cost?
- How about travel? - JR pass?
- Car hire? http://rent.toyota.co.jp/en/index.html   
 
- How many yens will you need? Buy some yens
To do
- Book airfares
