So this is the plan.....we have a three week trial over the chrissy holidays in January. We hope to sort out all the teething problems to ensure a smooth trip come the real thing. We never knew the van had so many teeth!!!! We practise putting up the annexe before we leave, in the searing heat, Dad standing with hands on his hips giving advice!!!! He says it is in preparation for when the Grey nomads offer to help when you arrive at a caravan park at 4pm, tinny in hand and full of suggestions!!!!!
Most things are well organised and ready for departure, however, even the best laid plans and advanced orders can't compete with the delays over chrissy and new year and our custom made tool box, that requires mounting on the A frame, arrives the day before departure. So, this means Glen spends most of the 24 hours prior to departure, welding in the shed......just to add a little stress to the equation. However we manage to keep it together, just!!!!........and depart on the day we planned to, even though a little later than anticipated!!!
I keep a handwritten diary for the trip, because I haven't worked out this "bloggy thing", but as you can see I have now learnt and I am determined to keep you all posted with our travels, probably not on a daily basis however. Please excuse my spelling and grammatical errors as I don't plan to spend too long proof reading entries.
So....here we go, here we go, here we go..........!!!!!!
