So far we have:
  • requested parental leave /career breaks and got agreement from work that we can go;
  • told school we will be taking Wes out for a term - we will have to de-register him after the Easter break and re-register him to go back into year 4 in September 2017. The school are really supportive and we are hoping we can keep in touch during out trip and that Wes can do a couple of transition days into his new class the week before the summer holidays. 
  • got a rough idea of a route - we know roughly where we want to go but are not yet committed to staying in any particular places
  • started saving!! 
Now we are ready to invite our family, friends and colleagues to get involved and help us plan our amazing trip. 

So have a look at our planning so far, add your thoughts and be part of our journey! 

PS - to make the route map appear in date order on the right hand side of the map page we have had to put it in reverse order - so ignore direction of arrows - we are going to Spain first and returning from Calais!
