ok, so i need to clarilfy all of my statements about not wanting to be on the road with my family for three months. i meant on a bike- i believe i could handle 3 months driving around the continent especially if the british isles were tacked on for good measure, and we were staying in hotels instead of camping, and it was not 18 degrees outside, and the car was big enough, and someone who understands these things put in the gasoline each time..........
