I fopund a website that had the rental for a month in not quite so brand new RV's for about $1500 plus CDW. It would cost that much just for the hotel rooms. Plus we would need a vehicle big enough for hubby's wheelchair, so a little cheap hire car wouldn't do.

Julie, I'm only about 20 mins from the LaBrea Tar Pits, very interesting and just off of Hollywood Blvd. It's part of my "tour package" for out of town visitors.

I was more thinking the gas/petrol for that long of a trip could be excruciating! But if you need a big vehicle anyway, it might work out. I've known some Europeans who don't realize just how vast the distance is between say San Francisco and LA. It's like 400 miles - roughly London to Edinburgh.


On another note - I have just discovered Amsterdam has a Pannenkoekenboot - a Pancake Boat that tours around the canals of Amsterdam offering a pancake buffet.

My suggestion for a must see before you die place has to be Plitvic Lakes in Croatia. We went there expecting to see a small valley with a stunning waterfall, What we didn't expect was to spend a whole day traversing a whole valley of lakes, coloured from emerald green to aquamarine blue, with a myriad waterfalls from stupendous catarcts to tinkling little trickles. The picture below is one I took myself, its not a brochure picture. If it doesn't show full size please click on it.

Wow, Julie this is amazing. It is now on my list!
I'm off to Lord Howe Island in 3 weeks, a tiny island a little way off the coast of NSW. It is predominately National Park, with restricted numbers of tourists at any one time. I'll post pictures when I return! The flights are on a small plane so luggage is restricted- just as well I now need smaller clothes!

What a great idea, Sue. I'd just need to sort a few things here and I'll be ready! Oh yes, and start saving!
