me and my hubby discussing this post, from a woman's point of view caravanning can sometimes feel like you are not getting a break from home, eg - i always cook in the van,...im always cleaning/sweeping the van (its just like being at home)..we go away most weekends and have been away for about 10 weekends on the trot.
We have a 2 week holiday booked to Scottish highlands (in a cottage) in September to look forward to, I think we will do the same next year,....even though we love our van, it can sometimes be a bit confined and i think you need a little change.
Maybe compromise - treat her to a lovely week away to a non- van holiday but still keep the van and use it too.
Having enjoyed a really well managed and comfortable crossing of the channel by Brittany Ferries in June, and then enjoyed stress free driving on the French autoroutes, both my wife and I would be very hard pressed to go back to being b******d about at airports.
Neither of us can stand the perversity of the airport staff at foreign airports and to be frank, the ones at British airports aren't much better especially their apparent indifference to the fact that I am disabled. Brittany Ferries on the other hand,couldn't have been more caring.
It means that we will not be visiting our much loved secret little corners of Tenerife and Majorca but hey, France is such a diverse country with such a lot to offer that we see her as a high quality replacement.
I,m new to caravaning and only just managing to read through messages in between wiping tears from my eyes with laughter , thanks for cheering me up and I am looking forward to going caravaning next week . (had been a bit dubious )
