Next Year - This Year

For months we have been saying that we are going on our Gap Year next year, but in a couple of hours it will become THIS YEAR! That's exciting, but a little daunting too. Already, a lot of planning has been done though there's still 8 months until our first trip.

Accommodation is completely booked for six weeks in Scotland, four weeks in Canada and USA, and our four week Europe road trip. Every place carefully researched for accessibility, space to manoeuvre the hoist, width of doorways, accessible parking etc. (We won't be using adapted accommodation as it is generally above our budget, or not in the right place, or both!) Hopefully the planning will pay off, but no doubt there will be some bumps along the way.

Most places don't release dates to book until 12 months before, and some less than that, so we're generally working a year ahead. 'This time next year...' has become a very common phrase. January 2026 will be a quieter month; a bit of time to recharge our batteries and renew our strength for the second half of our adventures, so it follows that there will be less planning in the next few weeks. No shortage of things to do though! A thorough Spring clean and sort out of the house is needed, so that I know exactly where everything is when we come to pack. A few trips to charity shops to declutter and make space for the inevitable souvenirs too.

Please follow us on our Wheely Amazing Gap Year adventures, and we wish you a

Happy and Healthy New Year full of adventures and fun!
