house is sold and we're off..............
Permalink  

It's been a hectic few weeks, the house is now sold, we picked up the motorhome on Thursday and we are now officially Grey Nomads of no fixed abode.  We are trying to find places to put everything in the Coaster and the chief is sorting out his 'workshop/trailer' which we are towing with us.  We are heading up to Toowoomba next week to see the kids and say our 'Goodbyes' then we're off, not really sure where to but I guess north west and from there where the wind blows! 

It's kinda scarry now that it's finally happened, seems we have been waiting for so long for this moment and for the house to sell (seven months) so we are not sure where to head to first, but I guess we'll meet folk along the way with heaps of advice and tips.

We have taken onboard advice from you learned GNs and have wireless broadband so we shall pop in to the forum from time to time to see what's happening around the traps.

Stay well you all, at the best forum on the net.
D & J

Welcome to the nomadic life D & J.
You can go where you choose, you can take your time, and don't forget to enjoy yourselves. And you are able to share the experiences.
Pack what you think you'll need, then repack after you've completed another clean out. Then, if you haven't used it for 3 months or more, give it to the Salvos or sell it on eBay to boost the fuel fund.
Good for you. Safe and happy travels. Cheers Chrissy
