Many many thanks for the information – we will get onto organising some of the things you mentioned straight away. Especially the list of relevant phone numbers! I have been told before not to leave anything in the car but will have to do so when we are travelling from one place to the next. I now know that we will have to make sure we don’t leave the car unattended at any time – might be relays for the toilet stops.
Hope you have a truly wonderful holiday this year. The fact that you are going back speaks volumes more than anything else could about what a great time you must have had.
Again thank you so much for the time taken to type the response
