The 50th Anniversary Edition of Europe with Two Kids and a Van, Travel Memoir and Guide will help families who dream of traveling in Europe on a limited budget, taking the kids on an adventure from which they will learn more about the world, geography, social customs and mores, than what they learn in the classroom. It not only tells how one family did it many years ago, but how to do it today in this changing world. The book outlines not only what to see, historic places of interest, but also, the lesser-known sites. It also updates the information as to campsites in various countries, food specialties, road rules, and other helpful information for those who want to travel by camper van or rent a mobile home.
Europe with Two Kids and a Van is both memoir and guide, filled with entertaining stories of the Davidson family’s adventures camping in nine countries with two young children for six months. As relevant today as back in 1973 stories of travels in a VW van for $10 a day will delight wishful travelers with kids. With updated information and budget-wise suggestions, it inspires readers to not postpone their dreams of travel but to make it a family affair now.

ON-THE-ROAD TIPS
Traveling in Europe, by car or camper, allows a wonderful opportunity to see the countryside. Out-of-the-way places, unspoiled by hordes of tourists, are yours to enjoy, but it is necessary to understand a few things about driving in Europe. Europe uses the international system of road signs (the United States is now moving slowly in this direction) that, once understood, can be of great aid to motorists. They are easy to identify and can be understood despite language barriers.
Triangular signs mean danger or warning.
Circular signs give definite instructions or prohibitions. Rectangular signs are informative.
Generally, triangular signs have a red outline with black letters or
figures, circular signs are usually red, but sometimes blue or white, and rectangular signs are printed on blue backgrounds.
Below are the most commonly encountered signs.
