Well we have had the date for our move and it looks like we're going on the
18th of June.I feel sick just thinking about driving all that way with 3 dogs in tow, anyone else nearly ready for the off that can sympathise with me.

Hey Sugarlugs ***GOOD LUCK*** I'm sure you'll be fine. Hope you have a wonderfull new life in Espana. I'm sure your dogs will be happier with you than boxed up on a plane, just make sure you've plenty of water and lots of stops, relax and enjoy the scenery!

Re: Not Long Now
Like Jean says enjoy the drive and the scenery. I flew with my dog and I would never advise anyone to do that!! They will be much happier with you and I hope they enjoy their life in Spain as much as my dog does.

Re: Not Long Now
We have been here 19 months now. I have to say it is everything we wanted it to be and more besides. We have made great friends, got lovely weather (well, most of the time anyway lol). Its just so nice to have a life that is more outside than inside with the heating on. So far I would say its the best thing we have ever done and anyone thinking of moving to Spain or anywhere else for that matter then go for it

Re: Not Long Now
Which airline did you fly with and how much did it cost for your dog? We are taking a rabbit and guinea-pig but have no idea how much it would cost to fly them.

We flew with Monarch Airlines. As you can see from my dogs picture he is only tiny but it cost £385. It cost me and hubby £14.99 so a bit of a rip off to fly an animal.

Thanks Sam. We have used Monarch everytime as they are always the cheapest. I will give them a ring - don't really want to pay that per animal though! It's so comlicated deciding how to get the pets, kids and essentials over. Easy option or expensive - a lottery win would certainly help!
