Itinerary in England

The washing machine is on, the dishwasher is running, as is the dryer (another story), the kettle is boiling, I have packed Michaela's lunch and I am listening to my music playlist. All this at 6.40am. Now I can blog. This is a pretty typical morning.

I thought I would publish the general route we intend to travel in the UK - this is by no means set in concrete and should not be relied on to predict our whereabouts too closely. We have used the AA site extensively for the planning and found it invaluable. We think "The AA best drives Britain : 30 car tours for the independent traveler" great for this sort of planning. There is a kid section for each of the drives, explaining exactly what there is for kids in the area. We also have the "AA bed and breakfast guide 2006"

We leave London on the 15th of June and head to Ashford, Kent to collect a Renault Laguna for the next 19 days of our trip.
