Our budget idea was around £1000 for the whole trip including food and activities, but I think we might go a little over this. The flights for us to go to Germany are always around £150-£200 each! So we were also hoping it would be a cheaper way of travelling to Ben’s Gran and we can stop in European cities on the way there and the way back to make it more of a holiday and adventure rather than just a family visit. I definitely think we should go now and not wait another year.Īs we have the Mazda Bongo which we purchased last June and have only ever spent a maximum of two nights in a row camping in it, we thought it would be fun to do a mini European road trip (and perhaps crazy as we’ve never been away more than one night in the van with the kids!)
Ben’s Gran lives in Germany and is 94! She’s now in a care home and we haven’t visited since she’s moved into the care home.
I don’t think we’ve been for two years now. Our savings have been our main focus this year as he’s leaving work several months earlier than we first planned so we’ve not gone on any week long family holidays for over one year, even though we were so tempted! We are *just* going to meet our 10k emergency fund savings target before he finishes work and I think a well-deserved week off is a great idea before he gets immersed in self-employment. This year we have been saving like maniacs as Ben is leaving his employed job mid-July to go self-employed as a handyman so we were unsure at first if we would be able to go away for a week before his full-time self-employment commences. There are lots of things you need to plan in advance and I’ll share exactly what we’ve been planning and booking before we go on our last minute family road trip.

I have exciting news – we are going on a mini 8 day family road trip to Europe! It’s all been very last minute as we weren’t sure if we’d be going away this summer, but we’ve decided to go for it! In this blog post I will share our European road trip travel itinerary and tips on how to plan a driving holiday in Europe.
