Getting closer!!
More things done off the list
the dog has got his passport today ready for June. (he's now sleeping off the trauma of having an injection, he was not impressed, bless)
Van has had new tyres and ive sorted my spare wheel.
Van insurance due in May so hoping to get a deal including breakdown cover then.
Just need to sort my tesco vouchers now and organize the tunnel
OMG, I can't believe I'm doing it!:scared:
Think I need to make another list to make sure my list is ok?:lol-053:

Lots of lists!
We're making lists too! Chunnel is booked for 31st may, but sadly no Tesco vouchers. We have a vague plan of making our way down towards La Rochelle but if the weather is good, we may hang around the Loire for a while. We will be packing the hymer well in advance as we're moving house and the moving date could well be just before the holiday, and on top of that we've got a Barleydog recovering from a TPLO op on her leg. I'm sure everything will work out fine in the end though - gulp!:lol-061:

I hope Barleydog feels better soon and I hope your house move goes to plan.
(We are in the middle of selling our house too, all going through solicitors at the moment so fingers crossed :scared
Have a great time :goodluck:

I'm sure you will have a great time Lotty, just relax and enjoy yourself, you will love the lack of traffic almost eveywhere.
We've just come back from a month over there. Wonderful. Didn't need to pay for a single night's stopover. Parked up in a town market square down in the Alps, amongst all the French mh'ers, for 2 weeks. No problems or hassle anytime. June will be busier obviously.
My o/h keeps an Excel list of things to take. She just updates and refines it each trip.
On your tomtom you can adjust the settings to remind you to drive on the right at the start of each journey. PM me if you need more details.
Have fun.

Hi Lotty
We keep the fuel low for the crossing and fill up at a Hypermarket on the other side, Diesel is much cheaper there.
safe trip Snowbirds.:have fun::goodluck:

French Alps
Dont know how far you are going to travel , but if you want to visit the French Alps there is a fantastic spot I use regular.
Its a huge carpark in Thollon , near Evian (the water place) .
Many people use it for free , if you want a hook up you can if you wish connect to the shop "sherpa" for a small fee.
The views are spectacular , one way looks to the mountains , the other overlooks Lake Geneva .
Many places to visit all within 30 mins , inc Montreaux, Evian, Yvoire, Chateau Chillion.
Locals in Thollon are very friendly and there are some lovely bars and resturants .

Best of luck, it's really exciting, don't forget those favourites that you can only get in the UK at a reasonable price, beans, marmite etc!!
Don't buy "Foreign" Shampoo, only to discover it's conditioner, as I did!! But that's part of the fun.
Enjoy everything, after all, some of the things that go not quite right, are the things of stories in the future!!

You will need a breatherliser kit too. As from 1st July it is compulsory to carry one in France. You can buy the cheap ones at Halfords for £5.99. You get 2 in a kit.

Just remember that...
