It'll be so much easier.
Tomorrow, we're orf to look over the new house, measure up rooms [again] and work out what will go where. Staying overnight then back on Sunday.
On Monday I'll be driving to the other side of London, basically a full circuit of the M25.
Then comes Thursday night. What joy! What pleasure! We'll leave home around 3, driving overnight we hope to be back in Buda for lunch. 
Once we're in Hungary I know we have to drive up down and around for two weeks; seeing family and friends, and checking up on the house on the lake.
Tomorrow morning I'll reset the trip on the car and then see how far I drive over three weeks. I think it'll be over 3,000 miles, maybe even breaking 4,000!

No, a full circuit would get you back where you started.
Except the M25 drives most people completely round the bend anyway, so...

Well, it's half way there, and half way back. So two halves make a whole!

Not really. Just we're buying a little bolt hole off in the Dagobah system. Should things go completely wahoonie shaped, we'll have a roof over our head at no cost; apart from buying the place to start with.

The estate agent's plans are not too accurate, just an indication, and we want to work out what we take up there and what will go back to Hungary.

In the USA, we've a class of people called Trump Voters Trailer Trash[^]. Now, if you deconvolute from the lifestyle how much less trouble you have when changing parking spaces dwellings, maybe it's not so bad.
Perhaps them folk be onto sum'ptin?

I have heard of these people, but I assumed you had to be in a relationship with one or more blood relative to join.

Hey – you’re in Europe. At this stage of the game, isn’t everyone more or less related?*

IIRC, there have not been enough people born in the history of mankind for anyone to not be inbred. Though in most cases this probably crossing over at 8-10 generations back and not one or two as is the case in Arkansas.

They do say that every European is related in some way to Charlemagne. I certainly have his eyes. Wonder if anyone's noticed they're missing?

I'm trying not to comment on US politics at the moment and I especially will not denigrate* Trump supporters for their political allegiances.
* For any Trump supporters, "denigrate" means to "put down"

Well...no.
criticize unfairly; disparage.
"doom and gloom merchants who denigrate their own country"
synonyms: disparage, belittle, diminish, deprecate, cast aspersions on, decry, criticize unfairly, attack, speak ill of, speak badly of, blacken the character of, blacken the name of, give someone a bad name, sully the reputation of, spread lies about, defame, slander, libel, calumniate, besmirch, run down, abuse, insult, slight, revile, malign, vilify; More (Google)
Blacken is a synonym, but only in conjunction with clarifying words - and it has a subtle difference in meaning.

Well ... yes. Look at the root; denigrate from "niger", black. All the other synonyms are the later accretions.

Not the proper answer. (And yes that is a hint!)
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
