One year and counting!!!!

John and I dreamed of this trip some years ago, it remained a dream that was never far from reality in our minds….well guess what….it is about to come true….we are planning our roadtrip at this very moment. We have this year to finalise unfinished business, plan, sort and then S-T-A-R-T.  We don’t have any particular route in mind right now, we are at the beginning stages, so guys, any guidance or feedback on vehicles, caravans, places of interest to visit, dog friendly caravan parks etc, etc, etc, will be of substantial assistance to us as we put everything together over the next 12 months.As you have probably guessed, our two furry children (above) Quince and Gypsey will be travelling with us.  They are fully  obedience trained, so we will be able to introduce them to people who have a perception that dogs are only there to patrol premises, bark at anyone or anything that they feel is a threat and live in kennels outside.  Our blog has started, you will all be able to keep in touch, see what we are up to and join in, as we wind our merry way round South Africa.  I would like to visit as many establishments as we can along the way, especially those who are listed on our website known as Doorway Travel.  We can then give our potential overseas guests and locals first hand feedback on each place we visit.  I would like to meet as many local people as I can, find out what makes them tick, sample their signature dishes, cook them, then include them in a cookery book I want to produce on our return.Keep visiting our website as the countdown begins.
