Bon Voyage, Tupps!
Sounds like a great idea - to go exploring on the way to settling in to a new place - from a number of different perspectives for both you and your son. Been doing some of that myself and it DOES change "something", for me. I dunno exactly what that something is; what to call it. S'ok... as long as it's different. ;)
Do heed Lighter's advice about always carrying certain things in your purse/pockets/backpack... things HAPPEN all by themselves and you just never know when you'll need some basic gear. (See: old lady locking herself out of her cabin near the middle of the night in sweatpants & slippers in the midst of wild unfamiliar woods...)

Did you do that, Amber? :shock:

Hops, Lighter, Skep, thank you :) I am feeling excited and alive for the first time in such a long time. Van is already stocked with emergency essentials! I'm a bit of an emergency fiend, comes from finding myself in a number of difficult situations over the years and thinking "if only I had that with me" :)
Skep if that was you that got locked out of the cabin I hope you got back in fairly quickly! Some adventures are not that exciting.
I have had some negative responses to my plan which has just made me more certain that I am doing the right thing in leaving and not coming back! I've survived years of emotional and sexual abuse, a good decade or so of drug and alcohol abuse, numerous unhealthy relationships with unsavoury characters, being homeless more than once, seven separate malicious allegations of child abuse, a decade of sitting indoors on my own, three stays on a psych ward and fourteen years of providing 24 hour care to a disabled child and three of my 'friends' think I'm taking a big risk by going on holiday for three weeks! Ha ha! People are funny :) I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to just going and seeing where we end up each day, I've not enjoyed that level of freedom for a very long time and I am going to savour every minute (and try not to eat too much ice cream!) x
