Our 3 month trip to Benidorm with caravan, tolls, sites, eating out, Eurotunnel, diesel came out at £8000 ish :/ It's getting more expensive but we eat and drink out a lot. It's a very sociable lifestyle. Have booked again for this coming December, You inspired us! x

Interesting plans Judy and Mark. On Turkey, you are correct in that you are up the steep hill from Olu Deniz. However, when I was last there, dolmus (shared minibuses) were always travelling up and down. One benefit from leaving the EU is that U.K. tourists no longer need a visa to enter Turkey.

Yes our cottage is old and very expensive to heat can do £10 of logs in a day probably not the ideal choice of home for doing this but we bought it before I’d had this idea of lifestyle.. but we do love the cottage but it can be a headache .. hold out till mid May for flights if it goes as last year did they should drop x

Good to hear from you both again.I always buy quality luggage,I learnt my lesson many years ago when I was young and naive,when I was travelling from Glasgow back to Yorkshire, with quite a lot of luggage,(I'd been away 7 months)My taxi arrived to take me to the train station,and to my horror,my suitcase handle came away!! with help I managed to get it taped up,to get me home via 2 trains..

I iron it all flat and then fold flat and small.. flip flops at bottom.. we wear clothes we’d wear on holiday to travel in and pack a macs with deep pockets as we fill them up with plastic food bags with all phone charges plugs wires etc so saves room in rucksack.. try get all toiletries airside from Boots but tbh will just get them when we arrive this time x
