It was a good idea in theory, now I can't face it! We can't afford a 'proper' holiday with planes and hotels so will be driving and staying at Europecamp, hostels and relatives.
5 weeks on the road with 4 DC aged from 3 (still potty training) to 16 (absolute nightmare). We are travelling through Europe from Calais to Greece stopping off at various destinations on the way. I had looked forward to us bonding as we cannot escape each other in the car! and seeing new scenery. Today I have the jitters about it. The sheer exhaustingness of being alert and on call constantly. The utter nightmare of packing (which I have not yet started).
We have done similar before btw (road trip across Canada/US with 3DC and a similar European trip last year with a then 2 year old ). Maybe that is what has put me off. It was haaarrrddd.
I have a headache just thinking about it.

AIBU?
Tomorrow we embark on a 3500 mile round road trip with 4 DC - AIBU to say that I don't want to go now?
