      Hi Deborah, we’re soooo excited 😛 and can’t wait, we think that we are the lucky ones.
      Our count down to France 🇫🇷 has begun, just 26 days to go, then 9 weeks of travel.
      Thanks, as always, for your kind comment, and of course for watching 👀

    Congratulations grandma and grandude. Great news. we're going on our first trip to France in July, very excited. We have chosen to go ferry, only because we live 30 mins along the coast from Newhaven , so no brainer really, but I do like the sound of 30mins travel time. maybe next time.

      Hi Al, cheers 🍻 for your kind words, very exciting times ahead 👶 (more exciting than our TH-cam content!😂)
      It’s looking like France 🇫🇷 we have 9 weeks starting from early June, and France tends to be a place we transit through rather than fully explore, so weather permitting we will pick an area to concentrate on. It allows us to be close(er) to home if we need to whizz back in a timely manner 😃

    😂😂 We prefer the Chunnel too. Its the short crossing and having the dog with you that makes our mind up and the ease of it all. We did try the Portsmouth Caen route last year while my daughter looked after the dog and we enjoyed the crossing and it got us to the part of France we wanted to be in but hanging about waiting to get on and the customs seemed very long winded in comparison. It was also more expensive. So when we go with the dog its definitely the Chunnel every time.

    • @Eurosully

    We love the tunnel too and would choose the tunnel again from Dover, however we have just done the Hull to Rotterdam ferry (we're Norway bound). It surprised us how relaxing it was and how well our dog settled in the pet cabin. We did a quick 'back of the fag packet' comparison with the tunnel and considered the cost to be similar but it's a whole lot less driving and we just hate that journey to Folkestone. Congrats on the new baby

    We're also off to France again in June......and coincidentally were going on Tuesday 4th. This time we're going with our good friends who have a motorhome similar to ours. It will be their first trip across the channel with their motorhome. We're going to meander our way down to Lake Annecy.
    We always use the tunnel as we just find it so easy....and as we favour eastern France the tunnel puts us in the right place and in a fraction of the time a ferry would take. The flexibility of the train schedules on the tunnel is a real bonus. We arrived at Folkestone quite early last year and they put us in a train and hour earlier than our scheduled crossing.
    If we decide to head to the western coast of France in the future we might......and only might.....consider a ferry.
    Great video, with enjoyable, down-to-earth content.

    Congratulations on the soon to be new arrival, we are due a grandchild in November, so a couple more grand dudes, we've used the train many times but never with a dog, but last October 23 we got a puppy and took it to Belgium in feb 24 to get a eu passport at six months old using the p@o pet lounge, and for us thats the way to go, we only paid £12 extra for two adults and one dog each way, we've also only paid £12 for a crossing the last week in July, we did phone p@o and didn't do it online so maybe thats why, first time going over they parked us at a lift I'd never noticed before that took us straight up to the pet lounge but not on the return, on the return its was the normal stairs etc, yes its an hour longer by boat but we're in a motorhome not a sports car so I'll take that, on saying that the train if fantastic, you pay your money and take your choice, another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.
