All minor problems fixed.

All systems checked and functioning.

Passports, van docs, ferry tickets, insurance details stowed safely.

Camera, MP3 players and new mini notebook loaded.

Food and drink on board.

Clothes loaded.

Dog walked.

VDO sat nav installed and Nederlands disc on board.

Just about to have brekkie before final checks and then we're off.

 

hopefully we'll be able to log in from Holland, most of the sites we plan to use advertise WiFi so we'll "see" you all later ;-)

:-D we are off on the 28th to Newcastle for habition inspection, then drive to dover for crossing to Calais on 29th, we have to-day re-arranged the m/home from grandchildrens retreat (in UK only) to Adult retreat, (lol) we had intended to take in a pleasant slow trip thru various parts of France, but that was when we were going in July, but as we are now nearly in September, we intend to just head straight to Spain. We are all stocked up with our favourite food, as in February we found it quit expensive, and sometimes inconvenient (as we tow car). and there's nothing better than a little of what you fancy. eating of course......................we love our gas barbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, so its easier on overnight stops if you dont' have to shop. ps. we found clothes packed in locker that we had been looking for thru-out the year, also towels & 12 T. Towels, we must have stored Dec/Jan 2007.
