It does all sound beautifully thought through - so cover all eventualities and just enjoy yourselves! I must admit the Philippines would be a great place to go.
I can feel you are much more relaxed without the car to think about, and that's a nifty trolley. I'm sure it will be helpful - though watch out for Silver hiding inside it!
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

It's okay @AntoMac, the trolley appealed to my middle aged self as well, and it's definitely a lovely bit of kit 🤗.
I'm looking forward to going to the Philippines, but it will definitely require a lot of planning @Cherryfudge. And yes, I'm feeling a lot lighter since the car has gone. I have to think about more about how I will get around, but the transport in London is fantastic. I just have to plan my energy reserves and figure out how to do the least amount of walking as possible.
My nephew has a football match on Wednesday evening, so the whole family is going to that as it's the final. And I had to go on the tfl journey planner and figure out which route had the shortest walk from one of 3 train stations. But I like public transport as I get to read, play games or do the paint by numbers thing on my iPad with Apple pencil. Good times 😎.
