Thailand...
There's nothing that makes you wish you were on a beach more than sitting under a duvet with the heating on full blast when its -2 degrees and snowing than look through old holiday photos. Thailand were the pictures I came up on my facebook memories to remind me that it had been 3 years since we flew out for Christmas and New Year to spend 3 weeks with our family. We were flying out to Koh Samui, the second largest island in Thailand after we landed in Bangkok. Having never been away around Christmas before it was strange and exciting to almost be able to completely do it twice, we had a 'pre Christmas Christmas' with our family and close family friends where we set up a fake Christmas day and exchanged presents even if it was the beginning of December. Getting to Heathrow for our flight meant killing time around the airport and more importantly trying to stay awake as our flight didn't leave till extremely late, which always adds a little bit of nerve...
