We are off to the vendee and Loire Valley.

CC Red Pennant for us.

We are off to La Palmyre in 3 weeks/3 days.  Got all the docs/insurance ready and some basic groceries put aside but nothing else!  We still need to get the gas bottle filled and I suppose some euros would be useful!!

Our breakdown insurance is with the RAC and medical insurance is with Karma (OH has med condition and they are good for providing cover without breaking the bank)

We are off to site near Fontainbleau for 3 nights then over to Loire Valley near Saumur, then 4 days to get back to Dunkirk for the ferry via Normandy? possibly

Insured with Red Pennant, all packed going Friday afternoon.

Yipeee

working away until Sunday so van all packed last weekend (apart from clothes) all documents done, euros purchased, empty wine kegs loaded for filling at vineyards!!! car booked for service on Monday... all this reminded me to look into the van insurance as I'm with that E&L outfit and realised their charging me £16/m for what is probably dodgy insurance when I can get the same cover with the CCC for £95/yr!! so going to do that whilst I remember!!!

Van just needs washing/polishing car needs loading when work is finished and were off!!

Also...kids (kids....14&16!!) have always moaned that the dvd screens had a cr*p sound...now got a new car and bought a 3.5mm jack lead to connect it to the car stereos input socket...result..Odeon cinema!!!!! I shall just have to picture the film in my head as I don't think a 3rd screen up front is legal !!!!

We set off 3 weeks tomorrow.  Now in full swing with packing/organising - also have to get DS(19) organised for 3 nights at Sonisphere festival just before we go & a week in Ireland while we're away so it's a little bit manic around here!

We bought travel & breakdown insurance thru Europe Assistance - came out loads cheaper for us than Red Pennant.

Right Im all packed and ready to go. Au revoir and bon voyage where ever you are going.
