Before we go.....

We are writing this Blog to give us a travel diary, but also to be able to share our journey and adventures with our family and friends. We hope that for the others reading this Blog, it may give some useful information.
The journey really began the moment we decided that “Yes, we will do it”. The preparations and decisions that need to be made, sometimes seem endless. Even at the ‘2 weeks to go’ mark, the list continues, but before we know it, the dream will be reality.
We hope you enjoy the journey with us.
This year we are starting in France. After landing in Paris we will go  to settle on the Motorhome and then to my cousin, near Lyon, to spend some good times catching up. This will be our base to complete all the necessary paperwork for the visa and for registering and insuring the motorhome. Here we will also need to go and buy up all the items to setup the motorhome. 
We then plan to head South while the weather is still cool. (Heard that there has just been another dump of snow. Hope its melted before we get there as we didn’t get the optional winterised pack!)
We are not sure at the moment if we will go first to Northern Italy or head along the south of France to Spain. We will see once we are there. First things first…get the Motorhome.
