Holiday Planning

 I'm not holiday planning. I'm thinking about holidays, but I'm not actually holiday planning. 

There's a couple of things that are coming up when I thinking about holidays. 

• Where do I want to go?
• What do I want to do?
• How long will I go for?

Being a contractor, you have to get things planned and paid for. 

Also travelling alone, what option to I take? Solo travelling? Go on a tour? Do I go somewhere I've been before? Do I stay at home with the cat? 

If I'm going on tour, Vietnam and Cambodia are high on the list. I'd do a tour. Intrepid have a good one that takes in a lot. I really want to go to Angkor Wat. And I love Vietnamese food. 

Japan is also high on the list, but everybody is going to Japan. But Japan is safe and fairly easy to get around, from what I'm told. 

Then I could go over to the UK, hire a car and go Cathedralling. Poking around cathedrals makes me happy. Maybe hire a car and go down to Cornwall and have a good look around St Michael's Mount, Truro, Wells, Exeter, Bath, Salisbury, Gloucester. Of course a visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon to visit Shakespeare, and maybe a trip down to Canterbury Cathedral to go and visit St Thomas a Beckett - and maybe then up to Lincoln to see Richard III (They hadn't dug him out of the car park last time I was there.) And of course, I could go to my favourite of the English cathedrals - Ely. 

Okay, you're seeing my eyes light up. 

Or do similar in Scotland.... so much to explore. 

Then there's France. I'm nearly 1400 days into my daily French practice. There's so much in Paris I want to see - so many places in France to explore. And more cathedrals. 

Travelling alone, there are considerations. How do you get there? Who will look after the cat? How long do I go for. 

Or do I visit my uncle in Tijuana - though there is no way I'm going to America at the moment. 

Or maybe do a long weekend in Hobart to go roan around MONA, and then up to Uluru, because I've never been there and I rather like the Territory. 

Ah, it's a good diversion. 

Back to the ironing.
