Hi Muminfife,
Just the person to tell me then! We are off to Calif/Arizona for 4 weeks this summer, touring with our trio who wil be 9 this Sat! If we take our DVD players from here wil they plug into their hire car? Not sure how they are going to be on the journey, 11 hours, done 8 to Florida ok. Whereabouts in Calif do you go?

Hi Muminfife,
A few new ideas there thank you! We have been before, 91,93,96, in 91 and 93 with our first child who died in 94, I still hate typing that. So this is our trios first visit, this is what we have planned.
2 nights San Fran
4 nights Modesto with my pen-pal
5 nights Yosemite
2 nights Vegas
2 nights Williams(train into Grand Canyon)
6 nights in Sedona
2 nights Palm
5 nights Anaheim

I am soooooooo looking forward to going back, lots of memories and lots of adventure.
Booked it all myself and saved £`s!

we just got the ones that were on offer from Argos

they show DVDs

get lots of cbeebies type things with short programmes so they're familiar and they don't get bored

do not try to sit them down to watch Finding Nemo all the way through
