One of the things we are considering is how to get there. I know that it is a bit early in the process but we are already thinking of our itinerary and how we are going to spend our time in our travels. The big problem right now is how to get there. These are the options that we have now:
1) All of us fly to Toronto, rent a car, do the trip then fly back from St. John's.
Advantage: Saves time. Disadvantage: My guess is it will be tremendously expensive though we have to research the details.
2) All of us drive our car to Toronto to start the trip.
Advantage: We will have our own car so we don't have to rent and no plan tickets to purchase. Disadvantage: with two little kids in the car we can only drive six to maybe eight hours a day. And doing this day after day, my guess it will be unpleasant. Also add a lot of time. Also the return trip. This option most probably will not happen.
3) I drive to Toronto by myself and Stephanie and the girls fly to Toronto and they will fly back from St. John's.
Advantages: I can drive more hours per day by myself. In fact I don't think it will be a lot of extra time. Disadvantage: We will have to buy three tickets and Stephanie will have to manage the girls on the plane by herself.
4) Same as option 3 but we also rent a medium size camping trailer.
Advantage: don't have to rent hotel rooms for two months and better than tent camping. Disadvantages: Same as three.
Those are the options that I can think of. But I will have to do some research to see what our costs will be.
Steve,
ReplyDelete1. No matter which option, the girls will be older and hopefully not too much bolder!
2. It is more expensive to rent in one location and return to another.
3. You might be able to buy a trailer for less than renting.
4. Tents are cozy! A more pioneer approach.
5. University housing in summer months May-August can be rented.
6. Pulpit supply for housing? (It could work for at least 1 Sunday!!)
7. Contact parishes you want to interview for cottage rentals/loans.
8. Pray!!!!!!!!
