A Gap Semester

Well the kids have finished school and embarking on gap year travel before hitting uni in 2013. So Gina and I thought we might as well take a break ourselves - a gap semester. Itinerary is pretty loose apart from an initial 6 weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia followed by a flight to France. The whole family fly out on the same plane on 21 February - no return tickets booked.
