On the road

Hi Brenda! Well, I hope I can give the most relevant response but I live in the Philippines so I am not sure if I can give accurate and specific tips. Anyway, here, we can purchase promo plane tickets as long as we book our flights a few weeks in advance. Still, I think that you should assess your family's tolerance for road travel. If it is easy for them, then I think that would be better because aside from saving money, you can also spend more quality time with your son since it will be like a double purpose road trip. You can create special memories while you travel.

i have never tried renting an RV, i dont even know if we have one for rent in our country. but i think its a good idea. if its cheaper, i would say yes to that..

We wanted to spend an extended time overseas, mostly in Ireland where our son lives but also on the continent. We couldn't afford to stay, well, anywhere really - not for an extended time. We bought a motor-home over there and used it for five months. We had intended to sell it but enjoyed our travels so much we've kept it and hope to use it again next year. It was very expensive to rent motor-home over there. I think it is a great idea depending on how much it is to hire. We were lucky enough to be able to pick up a cheapish second-hand vehicle. It is in good condition and we are happy that we will lose very little on it when we eventually sell it again.
