One of the great things about living here in the UK is being able to pop across the English Channel into France almost at the drop of a hat.  We have done many day-trips to Calais and back, fondly called a "Booze Cruise", where we visit the hypermarkets on the outskirts of Calais and fill our car boot with an array of food and beverages - and the occassional handbag or Bren gun! (Family joke - one you would understand if you've ever seen the hilarious movie called The Booze Cruise).

However, the O'Douglas's have been talking about spending a weekend in France for some time because the travel companies have realised there is a market for this and they now offer specials that cater for the demand.  Don booked us on a SeaFrance ferry, Dover to Calais return fare for Easter weekend....one car and up to 5 people returning next day @ £39.  How cheap is that...?
