Matt's secret holiday

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?
