Let's embark upon a voyage of self-discovery. Initially thinking the Benelux countries, and France/ Paris. But as Rob at work pointed out, Feb is the perfect time of year to go to Thailand (!) and Cambodia.
To do:
 |
Book time off |
 |
Decide for sure where to go |
|
Get jabs |
|
Get any necessary visas |
|
Get 1 or 2 guidebooks, and plan an itinerary |
|
Book flights |
|
Book accomodation - at least the first place |
|
Stop momentarily and realise I'll be in a scary foreign country on my tod, and poo and wee my pants accordingly |
Europe versus East Asia
Benelux & France/ Paris:
Good:
Safer/ easier option
Quicker to get there, either by Eurostar or plane
No need for jabs or visas, can easily go from country to country
Bad:
Bit chilly though, will probably be around 0 - 5 C
Thailand:
Good:
More exciting an adventure, more exotic/ dangerous
The climate - will be nice and warm, at around 31 C
It's not the rainy/ monsoon season in that area in Feb
Bad:
Flight times of 11- 12 hours (if I can get a direct flight, it might be way cheaper not to)
There might be insects and stuff
More scary
When?
