It's Easter holidays so it must be time for me and my family to go on holiday. For the last 7 years we have gone on holiday in the US at this time of yard but this time we decided to save some money and go to Europe instead. So we have zero car hire cost (by taking my car), cheaper fuel costs (by filling the car up in Dover using the company fuel card), no flights (we are taking the channel tunnel and even managed to pay for that using Tesco vouchers) and reduced hotel costs (staying with a friend for one night and using points to pay for 4 of the other nights). All in all it should be damned good value for money.
I will admin that setting off this lunchtime and not expecting to end up in my favourite country in the world (the good old US of A) was a bit disappointing but I am sure it will be fun, I have my family beside me and we get to explore somewhere different. Today we made it about 250 miles down the road and ended up at the 5 Lakes Crown Plaza hotel in Colchester, somewhere I have been many times for work reasons but never before with family. Its still a lovely hotel and I hope for a decent nights sleep before heading further south and putting the car on a train and putting that train under the sea!!
