Some reactions to our plans have been of skepticism. Driving a motorhome on the wrong side of the road! Spending 4 months with your newlywed in a tiny box! Paying all that money upfront! What if you hate it!? While we could let thoughts like this and the fear of the unknown hold us back, we have decided to have a little faith and take the leap. Others have been more positive. My colleagues at the CMCA were thrilled. Dad was slightly jealous – he, mum and the girls go to the UK in late June and have to do it the normal way, hiring a car and booking accommodation. Our friends stared at us in disbelief but agreed it was a wonderful idea.
The reaction I have to our plan is one word – FREEDOM – and all I can see is the advantages. No 10am checkouts and 2pm check ins, no carting luggage on public transport and up and down flights of stairs, no unpacking and repacking every time you move, no having to make it to your next booked accommodation or transport arrangement, no strict itinerary and having to search for somewhere to stay for the night. It sounds like heaven to me. Luckily Matt agreed with me.
