This is the life, there is nothing better in the summer than watching the sun set at the beach in a campervan with a few beers in the fridge. Getting out of the sea (which isn’t exactly warm here in the UK) and warming up in the van makes you glad you aren’t stuck in a tiny car also!
Since I found out that you can hire vans like the one above just like you can hire cars the idea of staying in a hotel seems a bit silly. Unfortunately a lot of car parks down here in the south west aren’t keen on people staying overnight so you have to be sneaky with your parking :)
It’s even fun in the winter because it isn’t so busy and the waves are bigger if you can stand the cold. It gets dark sooner but you can have a campfire (as long as you tidy up after yourself) and keep warm.

Travel Plans / Dreams

Our vague travel ideas are becoming more like far off plans, costs are starting to be calculated and destinations chosen. We have always intended to take off once the time was right and we had enough money saved up. Now it seems like that might happen sooner rather than later

Because of this we are starting to work out where we might go and how long our money might last. We can either travel for a month or so staying in decent hotels, driving a rental car and eating well or slum it for as long as our money lasts. I’ve done things the cheap way before and it’s fun but I’ve grown accustomed to beds and showers etc.

We might travel across America, starting in Florida where we know some people and driving west toward California. We have looked into the possibility of hiring a car in Orlando and dropping it off in Los Angeles.

Our other plan is to travel through Europe by train, this would probably be cheaper as it would avoid booking flights. We would get an Interrail travel pass which gives you unlimited rail travel around Europe. We have seen quite a bit of Europe already though. 

What ever we end up doing it has got to be better than staying here!

Right that’s decided then, I’m going to hire a van this weekend and drive off in search of surf and surfer girls ;)
