Coming together


We have about a month to go before we are leaving, still need to make some decisions like do we buy a Britrail pass or not, do we book most places before hand etc. Ordered the car and the phone the other day. We are getting our car through Ideamerge whom have been extremely helpful. We are renting a Clio III, here is a picture of the car. This is not an exact picture of the car that we will have but it looks similar to this. We will be spending a lot of time in it, I hope it is big enough for us!.
The phone we are getting froma Telestil. They have an option that you can get where people can follow you around, they can see if your phone is on, where you have been excetera. Once we have the phone number and we will give it too some people so you can call us. We only pay .35 cents for each phone call recieved, however you will have to pay for the long distance charges.
Finally we also have a skype account, for those that have it, email me at artobloom@yahoo.com and I will give it to you.
Thats it for now.

Our Journey

We are getting closer to our day of departure for our grand tour of Europe with our children! We will be leaving Canada in August and hopefully return in April 8 months later. Our tour will take us through several European countries, as well into Morocco and Egypt. Please stay posted as this page will hopefully change when we are getting closer to the day of departure. We are hoping to update this page either weekly or daily depending on internet connections.
Right now I am working on getting an international phone and leasing a car for 5 months. If anyone has ideas about the above please pass them along. If there is somewhere in Europe that we must see please let us know why we must see it. If you have relatives or close friends where we maybe able to hang out tell us so that we can save some money on accommodations.
Our first stop will be in England and Scotland for 3 weeks. When we get off the plane we want to go to Buckingham Palace, eat some fish and chips, ride the "eye" then get some sleep.
