Hi all
Have enjoyed reading lots of very useful information in the forum. Here's a bit to introduce ourselves. We are planning a 3 month trip between mid sept and mid dec 2009. "We" is myself, husband and our 19 year old son (who has Downs Syndrome). In 2007 we hired an RV from Vegas and did a 4 week round trip incorporating Grand Canyon, Yosemite,Tahoe, San Francisco, Highway 1 towards LA and back to Vegas. Would now like to see more and are thinking maybe East Coast southern states due to time of year and wanting some sun/heat? but are completely open to suggestions!! Although last trip was 4 weeks we think we tried to cram too much in i.e. 1 day in canyon area not enough.
Advice on where to go, what to see routes would be great.
Also we were considering how best to do this - i.e. hire (suggestions re long term hire bases), or buy and sell, or buy and keep for future planned trips with may be eventually exporting to use in Europe.
At this stage it all seems overwhelming!! HAve read lots about insurance, UK driving licence issues, registration etc. is it worth it for 3 months although our plan is to do 3 months then back to work for at least 6 and then future visits of anything between 4 and 6 months depending on finances and how we get on. Until recently we owned a 24 foot motorhome in the UK.
Not sure whether i need to post specific questions in relevant forum?
Thanks
Julie
