Hope it helps in any way, got some of our best tips from other reports, it really helps I think and gives a great record to look back on personally. I think we would never have had so much detail if we weren't thinking of writing a report.
Hope to get one day a week up til I get to the end! Xmas and illness kind of got in the way.
Thanks for reading.

Amazing Trip!

You must be thoroughly proud to have pulled off an amazing trip for you all. Great Job!

I'm early doors and pinching a lot of your ideas. I'm very grateful for your input. I loved your pictures but would likely have come to fisticuffs in the laundrette if it were me!

If my trip is half as successful as yours, i'll be delighted.

Thank you so much. We loved every minute of it, even all that driving
Hmmm yes laundrette wars nearly ensued!
So glad if it helps, so may choices to make I think any pics or trippie notes from others really help.
Must Say I Think half the fun is in the planning and looking forward and I am sorry I have yet to pop in the last Vegas bit but have been so busy sorting the two trips this year it has sort of got left behind. Hope to have a few days off over Easter and finish it off then, got two pre trippies to write!
I am sure your trip will be wonderful.
