Presented the Mrs with a map earlier today, with a highlighted line going from our house, all the way to Salou in Spain, 1053 miles.
She shot off to work, and I just got a phone call saying, "Actually, I quite like the idea of that, and we might not get the chance again for a while, lets do it!" I nearly fell of me chair!
So, in July next year, we're off on the KLE, down to Dover, and then onwards to Espania! Don't know where to start! Seems I'm a bit to early to book the ferry yet, and I've not even got a fixed timescale yet, a think a good map might be a good start!
Expect more as the saga progresses! ____________________ "THOSE WHO RISK NOTHING, DO NOTHING, ACHIEVE NOTHING, BECOME NOTHING." |

I know, it seems a little surreal at the moment, I've got to book something soon before she changes her mind!
The distance doesn't really bother me too much, it's only a few days, it's just that with the missus, I have to make sure that we have a place to stay, and have proper food. If I was on my own, I would rough it a bit, camp as much as possible, and just eat whatever, but I need to look after her, so it's as many hotels as possible, and proper warm food.
I can't expect her to tolerate too much hardship, the back seat is uncomfy enough! It just makes the logistics a bit more complicated and costly. ____________________ "THOSE WHO RISK NOTHING, DO NOTHING, ACHIEVE NOTHING, BECOME NOTHING." |

I know what you mean! I think she was talking about the bigger scheme of things though!
We need to buy a bigger house sometime after the trip, and will be having a kid almost straight after aswell, so it will be years before something like this is possible again.
At the minute, all we have is our jobs, and a really cheap house, so there is nothing stopping us, but it has to be 2007 because we are getting married this year. Believe me, a wedding puts a stop to anything in the same year, I still can't believe how much it's costing, and we are doing it on the cheap! ____________________ "THOSE WHO RISK NOTHING, DO NOTHING, ACHIEVE NOTHING, BECOME NOTHING." |
