My bride and I are considering taking a year off and doing the Great
Circle Route/Loop, a mere 5000 miles around the east coast, the Erie
Canal and the Tenn-Tom. We would take our boys who will be 14 and 15 and
home schooling them on the boat, using a prepared curriculum and a
satellite Internet connection.

Does anyone out there have any experience in this type of adventure?

Your kids will hate it and you - by the end of the trip, you will hate
them.

Especially the 15 year old. When you want to get together with your friends
(and girls) and looking forward to driving at 15, the last thing you want to
do is live the itinerant lifestyle. We took our kids when they were 10 & 12
(almost 13) on a 2 month trip around the US in a motorhome. They liked the
trip, but were very anxious to get home after 6 weeks.
