Hey Campers (again!)
I'm looking at traveling 4714km in 20 days... Good or bad?
We have 3 boys but they're awesome travellers (thanks to electrical devices!).
Cheers.

Well, it depends, perhaps sharing your itinerary will help.
If there are a few days of long haul travel at each end that you can handle, then a slower pace for the body of the trip then it should be fine.
At the end of the day if you have kids and have to fit trips into school holidays it will work if you don't go overboard and have most of the trip at a reasonable pace.
Basically you have no choice.

There's a few 8 hour days in the middle of long haul trips either end of the trip. But when we set up its for 3 - 5 nights at a time.
The trouble is we have to be 2000km away for a function but only have 3 weeks off. No choice is right!
Thanks for your reply boobook.

Hi all.
Let's not get too negative. I'll leave the choice of using electronic devices up to my kids and how they are coping... I have also got a
check list of things to spot along the way & there will definitely be time for journals when we stop which was always the plan.
As for the advice about the Kms, thanks for all your tips. I think we'll be okay going by most replies. I like your ratio of driving to days stopped. Cheers!
Keep the opinions coming.

I reckon you'll be fine esp if the kids travel
well. A fair few ks but doesn't seem too much.
As for the kids, those gadgets are great to keep them occupied along with other distractions. We let ours use them but also told them to give it a rest too. You must be doing something right if they travel
well. Ours actually like travelling and always have. I think it's the over-indulged that struggle. These trips are future great memories.
Have a good trip.
