A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
We hadn't been on holiday, for all sorts of reasons, for about 10 years, nor had we been able to even go on our honeymoon, which had been due 2 years ago!
So, we felt we deserved a good break. A good break we felt was taking about 6 weeks away, and since we couldn't imagine being on holiday without Sam, our dog, we bought a second-hand estate car and set off.
We had a vague plan to go down the middle of France, cross over into Spain. Go down the coast of Spain to Alicante, and visit some friends, those who couldn't come to our wedding, along the way.
Then the idea was to strike northwards to Asturias, back along the north coast, into France and northwards again stopping in Brittany, then back home

A great crossing, windy but fun. There were a few other dogs but not too many and they all got on reasonably well.
Being in the dog lounge was great. It didn't cost that much but as a benefit we got on the ship first, and off first. We had our own area and our own bit of deck. In short it worked out fine
I fancied trying out the chunnel but Pips doesn't really like trains, and feels claustrophobic in tunnels. So, being on a train in a tunnel was always a big ask :-)
