The "Years in the Making" Trip Report - Apr/May 2016
 

Welcome to the trip report for our fantastic three week holiday. I've been inspired by so many other great trip reports and hope that I can measure up.

We were four adults and a four year old, travelled 18th April to 9th May 2016, flying BA and staying at OKW with DDP. For more background info, please check out the "Post-trip Pre-trip" (because writing this was all rather unplanned, and I didn't do a pre-trip report!)

Thank you guys :)

I've just added the pre-travel day too. I promise we'll get to some good stuff soon!

Really looking forward to reading all about your trip, we stayed at OKW last year and are booked up again this year... and next! Ooops seem to have caught the bug lol. Loving your report so far xx

Just caught up so far and looking forward to reading the rest of your report! X

Thanks for following.

Travel Day is up!

:wavey: cant wait to read more, what a nightmare at security:wavey:

Looking forward to reading this report and how you got on with your car hire, we are thinking of doing the same next year - DH wants a mustang - not handy with 4 cases!

Thanks for reading. It really was crazy!

Day 1 is up now!

It includes our car hire experience which couldn't have been more straightforward (other than the lady sneakily putting extra insurance on and seeing if we'd notice - but we did!) Lots of people say it eats up too much time to go and get the car when you can just pick it up at the airport. But I'd do it this way again as the benefits seem to outweigh the downsides to me.

A Mustang would be fab! But yeah, you'll need to get the DME for the cases at the very least!
