Plenty of trips with 2 adults up front, 3-4 on the back seat (no seat belts on any of them) and numerous kids rolling around unrestrained (in all ways) in the estate cargo area. Madness.

We then spent the next 3 years in different countries and cities for for reasons of work/study - absence definitely seemed to make our hearts grow fonder. We wrote a lot of letters. Ah, such memories!
