Yesterday I handed in my notice after 14 yrs with Arriva buses, it's been a difficult last 18mths and I've decided to head off in the M/H for the winter no itinerary other than Spain for Xmas/New Year and Tonka's meet in March and then maybe Morroco/Portugal, when the money runs out I'll head back hopefully about May. it's something me and my wife were going to do when I retired but it wasn't to be.
Looking forward to meeting funsters out and about and swopping info and maybe tag on for a day or two.
Dave
Ps finish 21st Nov looking at Portsmouth - Le Havre 26th.

Congratulations Busman, I am sure that you will enjoy your trip to Spain.
There will be plenty of Funsters in Spain over Xmas and New Year. Keep a
lookout for us if you are in Benidorm.

I see my name has already cropped up twice on this thread!!
I take no responsibility ;) but good luck Dave, get out there and enjoy it all..
Life is what you make it and the reason why I finished work early to have more family time with my grandkids that I never had as a young working dad... PS... Mine's a cider when we meet up in sunny Spain..:)

Hi Dave, you said you would and you have, not what you wanted or planned , but now you have made new decisions and they sound pretty good to me think it's the best way to do it with out any schedules to stick to you've probably had enough of those on the buses.

Please keep posting let us know what adventures you have, look forward to seeing you when you get back. Safe travels. x

Wow thanks for all the positive reply's and encouragement that's lifted me as although I'm going to do it you always have some douts. Thinking of doing a blog so i can keep Kelly (daughter) updated and it might help others travelling solo.
Thanks again
Dave

Definitely the right decision Dave. (although at the time it is often a difficult one to make, usually fuelled by uncertainty). You will very quickly get into a different way of life and wonder why you didn't do it before. All the best.

Well I think it will be more of a semi retirement as in when I get back I will/might get a job to tie me over till the following winter and away again, as long as it doesn't get in the way of meeting all the lovely people I've met this year at fun meets,
