We always think carefully about how much something costs and whether or not it is worth the price because many times it isn't!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-90828165604791261222017-02-02T02:18:22.146-05:002017-02-02T02:18:22.146-05:00Good to hear that the our costs are similar! It is...Good to hear that the our costs are similar! It is amazing how much cheaper living in another country can be when you are able to tote around your own home. Kevin and I have discussed the possibility of buying a small motorhome over here and then storing it when we go back to Canada. We will have to talk more to you about it when we meet up. Nice that you could get a 2 year German residence visa, that really would make a huge difference!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-22007082963077271082017-02-02T02:14:21.801-05:002017-02-02T02:14:21.801-05:00Yes, being able to use someone else's motorhom...Yes, being able to use someone else's motorhome at no charge has certainly made traveling here very affordable. It isn't a motorhome rental, we are doing a motorhome swap/exchange. The couple who we are borrowing the motorhome from came to Canada and used our motorhome for 2 months last summer and no charge and now we are using theirs for 2 months a no charge. It is a win-win situation for us both.<br /><br />Spain should be on everyone's "bucket list" it is an amazing country and has a bit of something for everyone.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-9970119310665822662017-02-02T02:08:07.690-05:002017-02-02T02:08:07.690-05:00We are happy the the motorhome swap and worked out...We are happy the the motorhome swap and worked out so well too.

The eating out perhaps but then again we rarely eat out in Canada or the USA when we are traveling so we really haven't changed the way we are doing things.<br /><br />We did have some paella which is a national Spanish dish but that doesn't come close to the iguana soup in Patzuaro. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87280091498568517752017-02-01T21:53:53.590-05:002017-02-01T21:53:53.590-05:00Excellent job, kids!

We own our motorhome and maybe stay in campgrounds a bit more and some countries are more expensive than others but it all averages out. It's a great lifestyle, roaming around Europe in a motorhome, especially since the US$ got so strong. But that could change. In the meantime, we enjoy living in Europe in our MH and now that we've gotten our 2 year German residence visa, we can stay over here with no more Schengen restrictions (90 days in and 90 days out).
