But not your ordinary road trip... We aren't talking Duluth or South Dakota. We are talking London!
Just booked a car for this Sunday through Thursday, though we will be really going sunday night, coming back wed night.
Ryanair didn't have any good specials so soon, you usually need to book a couple of weeks in advance, so what I ended up doing is booking a little Volkswagon (do you know that volks means people in Germnan, so in effect it is called a people car.LOL) Polo (golf??) sized car.
We will drive through Germany, Belgium and a bit of France, park the car on the France side of the English Channel and then ride the ferry for the 1 1/2 hour trip.
Driving will be about 5 1/2 hours, then 2 hours to get to England. WOO-HOO!
That is all I have planned out so far. LOL Will keep this updated daily with more info as I book the hotel, etc.
Car rental is only $214, but I plan to add insurance and probably theft since it will be parked in France a couple of days, so I am guessing about $300. Gas, should only take me less than two tanks according to a friend who has driven to England, so I can get gas coupons from on post to get gas at the US price, not the $4-5 it is on the economy.
YES!!!!!! England!
OK, have to go sling some tacos now. Later!

Mostly due to laziness I've decided to start a blog. This way I won't have to remember to send out email. So, if you keep reading you'll be able to follow my trip to Italy. Then again, in a couple of months you may be reading with embarrassment as I come back and get a job at BK, drive a beat up car and eat cat food for dinner. Either way, there should be pretty pictures of Italy. - diana
