Thanks Gordon!
You mention budget so I want to add advice for others doing this. I'm over budgeting. I know I'll have extra money, but that will be put aside for emergencies, because there's bound to be something somewhere sometime lol. I'm also going to stay a month ahead financially because IF something happens and my money doesn't show up when it's supposed to, I assume it'll take longer to iron out since I won't be local. Just an idea.
Hmmmm, letting them drive. I hadn't considered that. If I remember correctly, I haven't looked at my plans in a while because I've had to put this on the back burner until February, but I think the plan is 13,000 miles on the RV. So I would prefer NOT to put those on the car as well. Also, because I homeschool, I planned on doing a lot of their "school work" type stuff on the longer drives. When we're actually in a location, we'll spend that time exploring and "vacationing" and learning through life experience, but some things, like math and reading, are perfect long drive activities for them. I appreciate the suggestion, keep 'em coming, but this one won't work for this particular situation.
