Hi Everyone
We are thinking of taking the family to Europe next summer holidays, in the Motorhome.
I have been reading forums for a while, and I must say I am daunted at the whole prospect, in terms of planning it anyway.
We have 1 daughter who will be 5 when we go, and I am thinking that booking sites would be best to giver her chance to meet other kids. I am thinking that using the AIRES a lot will be a little lonely for her.
The wife is a little apprehensive about sites and if it will feel like "a real holiday" I am sure there are many sites with a complex and pool and maybe some entertainment on for the little one.
As we are in the north or plan is to sail Hull to Rotterdam (I have done this route a few times in the car on business and I like it) and this saves the drive to dover. We intend on about a 3-4 week trip to take it slow and not have long days driving.
We also wanted to do Euro Disney for 3-4 days, then head down to Spain then back up. We might even consider getting the Santander ferry back.
Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me plan this?
In particular if anyone had a route and itinerary that they have previously used and are willing to share, we don't have any must see places and as long as we see a bit of france and spain and some sunshine I don't mind. In fact if we found the perfect place in France we might not even get to spain!
I also would be interested in any recommended sites that have pool, and complex etc. I know this might not be to most tastes on here, but I am afraid our little girl is priority now, and as an only child she can get a little lonely stuck with mum & dad for 4 weeks so a bit of like minded company for her along the way would be great.
Thanks for any help, stories, experience you can share with us!
