After nearly 6 1/2 years of travel, we have never got further than the America's with the kids. This has been for a number of reasons, a sense of security, proximity, finances ... but finally, with the offer of a house to use in France, we have taken the plunge. And of course, as we always believe, once on a continent, might as well explore thoroughly as the return prices are more than just staying there for the longterm.
And the long term it will be. Arriving May 12 in Barcelona, we have to return our lease car on September 1st in Paris. So unless something else happens along in the meantime to change that, our plans are 3 1/2 months in Europe.
Most of our time in the last months has been spent packing up our "on the road" life out of the RV and into a storage unit in North Vancouver. So where in Europe we are actually going, we aren't too sure yet, past a little village in France that I cant pronounce or spell - (i'll look it up for you later) and Lee's mum Hazel, wants to go to Croatia. Oh, and the kids wishes are Madi: Paris for the Eiffel tower and Denny: The Swiss Alps - I think his reasoning is to do with the swiss army pocket knives - but it is hard to tell with Denny exactly what his obsession with something stems from sometimes.
The other piece of good luck was finding a transatlantic cruise that leaves end of April. Perfect timing with the kids hockey, Madi's musical and other North Vancouver Homeschool activities wrapping up beginning of April.
