Of course this adds a whole new level of complexity to the entire vacation. Shipping details to sort, insurances, carnets(?), bonds, etc. We were reliably told you couldn't get comprehensive insurance in the UK on NZ plates- we hope to prove them wrong (although it did take 9 months of searching and emailing potential companies, often with no reply).
Then of course the vehicle we are taking will be some 35 years old (built 1977), it has a small (1600cc) motor, no fancy power steering and the air con is winding down your window.
Research on the 21 + countries we are hoping to visit.
Breakdown kits to assist in our van's survival.
Lists of contents to take. (Note to self - you need half what you think you need)
Budget guideline (stress guideline only, as that was put in the too hard basket), at least we wont have room to buy much on our travels.
This trip has been 12 months in the planning and we have another 9 to go (7 months to shipping our baby)
