Hello My Story

Fantastic idea Dylan, I wish you well, I read the couch surfing articles at the back of the Guardian on Saturdays, and would love to give that a try sometime...
It'll be a voyage of discovery for you, I hope you keep us posted.

Thanx daisygreen

I read the same article I joinned a few US forums and Ive had some great offers also had advice on where to buy a car from how to get car insurance without a US addy.

I don't want to do to much planning because that would take all the fun out of it but I do have to have some sort of budget also I need to sort out visa's etc and after that who know's where I will go that week , it will all depend what mood I'm in lol.

Dylan, my adventures, along the same - but in the space of 2 weeks, with my children since split have been to cross the Pyranees in my tiny car with a tent, no itinery, and lots of adventures including swimming in mountain rivers.
This year - just booked the ferry today, a crossing to The Netherlands, a slightly larger car,bikes, tent and children, will have a great time over the next few weeks dciding where we may like to go, children are getting a bit carried away and suggesting Hungary... in 2 weeks??
Ex never wanted to have these kinds of adventures, so its a very positive thing to have re discovered a passion for travel and adventure. Pre ex I did a bit, and did travel alone sometimes, and met some amazing people along the way.

Mine was the same 5 star all the way

Glad to hear you had a good trip it sounded like you all had fun and the kids will never forget it.

We used to take the kids to disney / florida and when you asked the kids did they have a good time all you got out of them ..was DaD it's just disney we have been here before.

I bet your kids won't ever say that.

Hi Dylan,
I know exactly where you're coming from: If my littl'un wasn't so little I'd have done the same myself a while ago. It still crosses my mind now, but I have to stay here.

just go 4 it have a ball lif is 2 short

life is too short i done something similar went and done all long haul trips i could not do prior to commitments. I have no regrets you only have old age to look forward to or swimming in some nappy in an old folks home being looked after by some late teen been on a bender the nite b4 . So live a bit ,can recommend the honeymoon suit in Naiagre Falls
