DVD's on Your Gap Year
Despite the fact that we were in some wildly exotic places (to us) and every minute should have been spent exploring and just enjoying where we were there were many times when we got fed up of exotic and just wanted to chill.
Regioned
As we carried the laptop with us we sometimes used it as a portable DVD player. This was wonderful until we got regioned out and got stuck watching the same 4 DVD's dozens of times.
It was absolute heaven when we bumped into other families along the way who were just as eager as we were to swap dvd's.
Swapping
If the DVD and thought of the electric Nanny floats your boat (I loved her!) when you network with other families before you go and have a vague plan to meet up along the way, discuss swapping DVD's and make sure that you don't start out from home carrying the same ones.
Languages
Lisa was learning German for school and Savannah French so most of the DVD's that I took with us offered german or french dubbing or subtitles so I made the children watch them in either language. So if we watched the dvd in German we had subtitles in English and so on.
Worked a treat and my language skills came along too.
