Brazilian VW Bay.com Club Trip to France 2013

Just looking at those pix Abs, I am so looking forward to this trip!!! First job of the new year is to sort a decent Kamcorder-to-Kombi attachment for plenty of en-route footage.

Good idea Tim - here's a few more:

Hi Tim & The Gang
Is it possible and not too difficult to change the return ferry crossing to enable us to extend the break by a week or so??
We really fancy the Kombitastic French trip - but would like to pop over to Finistere for a few days to finish the break off.
Cheers
Rich

Hi Batman

Yes that's possible. I'll pm you.

It would be great if you could join us Batman to bring up the, oh so close, ninth francophile.

Originally 16 people expressed an interest and I know the ultimate dates won't suit everyone but is there another member out there who's even close to making the decision to join us?

It would be great to get 10 commitments before the 10th Jan deadline, although I'm sure it would be possible to add others after that date but maybe we'd lose the block booking discount. Also, the ferries start to get booked up quite quickly in January.

So come on, any more for any more?

HI Tim and the gang
If that is okay to change the return ferry to a few days later then we are definitely in - Yippeeee!
Can you send me the PM to let me know how to pay the deposit etc.
It sounds like such a laugh - are many folks bringing kids - we will have 2 of ours with us - a 17yo and 14yo. We all love that area and Chateau sites are great - the one you've chosen looks excellent from the pics.
Cheers - Batty

That's great news Batman.

We just need one more now...

Come on you lot this is going to be a fab week very nice site good company nice food and cheap wine and larger and sun we are not going to get any in the uk and tim has got a very low price with this type of crossing you know it makes sense

1 more !!!!! Come on

Fantastic news Batman - I'll add you to the Kontinental Krew!

I sent you a pm with the contact details for our agent. Can you let me know when you've paid your deposit please?

I'll be bringing my two girls, though they're not in the same age bracket as yours. Mine will be 6 & 8.

On board our BraziBay we'll have a 7 year old, a 9 year old, a 12 year old and 2 big kids up front.

We are bringing all our crew. 5 "kids" 20,18,17,14 and 9 years

This is going to be such great fun.

2 girls 12 16

a bay full

We may be joined by two of ours - one 18 and another 28.

Looks like we may get to 10 if Helenbay joins us. Yippee!

Merry Christmas all!

Now's the time to treat you and your BraziBay to that trip abroad! The holiday ads are already blasting out across the telly channels, the ferry will soon be booked solid. We want to make this inaugural Kontinental Kaper as big as possible, so please join us if you can.

Look out the window right now ..... you know what you really want is some

You know a Kontinental Kombi Kaper is the ONLY way forward!!

Right, that's Xmas done - what you need now is to treat yourself to a slice of sunshine and sign up for the trip to France in August.

Looking outside in the County Pallatine right now (12.24pm) it looks like the middle of the night - it's dark, grey and gloomy. Perfect weather for looking foward to the summer and some (almost) guaranteed sunshine.

Come on you know you want to...

To get the full Kombi Konvoy Rainbow effect, we really could do with a yellow, dark blue and/or purple BraziBays joining us. Anyone able to help us out? Should create quite a spectacle on the trip.

We've got bright sunshine today. Makes me feel like going on holiday ...

All booked and Deposit paid - really looking forward to it!
We sorted out to return on Saturday 24th on a daytime crossing from St. Malo - and with 4 of us and the trailer etc - then it's come in at £1148 - which is fine and dandy!
Just one more group of explorers and we will have our 10 - anyone still sitting on the fence needs to make a decision as the outbound ferry is getting pretty much booked up!
We'll have son (17) and daughter (14) with us - so I bet the kids are going to have a great time!
Thanks for organising it all Tim - it's going to be such a laugh!

That is superb Batman and yes it's TICK TOCK on the ferry space.

Unfortunately I have found that I cannot escape from work in August to join in the fun (my colleagues have school-aged children and I have to work whilst they play during the hols!!) - so sadly this yellow kombi cannot join in the rainbow trip - boo
I am very envious of you all who are going - just make sure it is a great trip everyone - and to Tim - thank you for all your efforts including trying to persuade us to come!
