heh heh. Good morning Gary. The schengen zone is a HUGE PAIN THE ASSETS for those of us who want to schlepp around europe for a year or so. But, with a little creative planning you can work around it. For us it means arriving in Holland in march, but the RV hit the road straight for southern Italy. Then slowly work our way back to France so on day 85 or so (fudge factor) we can take the chunnel crossing to Jolly old england for 3 months or so. Then back to europe for another 90 days, and then down to Morocco for 90 days. Morocco is very cool and can't wait to get back there. We will have radar (our chihuahua) with us and things get tricky with rabies certificates when leaving and returning to the Schengen from North Africa, so yet another challenge. Meh, its all fun. :)
You are buying an RV over there? There has to be a reason for not shipping yours...inquiring minds NEED to know this. I have looked at it..I think it was about 5 grand, each way and I sorta thought, that was better than renting and all. I was thinking of a year..but perhaps doing it in segments.
