Hi Cocacolalover and welcome.

In the not too distant past I had a lot to do with people with kidney failure, and some of it was connected to overindulgence of coke.  

I have put a bit more info in the Health section of the forum..

Happy Travels

 Not at all Sheba, thanks for pointing that out, the old brain doesn't always function as it should so need someone to pick me up on things like that.

Make sure you bring the manacles too...cocoalover might want to give me a few lashes too, hee heee......wink biggrin

Have just joined this forum and have read so much info already. We are talking about travelling around " the lap" or up though the centre, down the West and across the Nullabour to West Vic. Looking for lots of hints.Hopefully for the first time, the time involved might have no restraints. Thanks to you all, :0

Hi Cocoalover and welcome! I amonlynew on here too and should be on the road full time in a couple of months. I have found so much valuable info on here and all the 'guys ' are so friendly and free with the advise and tips on where to go. I hope you get as much out of it as I have already. Just ask what you want and the answers will flow.

Welcome from us too Cocoalover. The one thing I like about this forum is that it is 'fresh' - there are regular contributors, lots of chitchat, no days old threads that go nowhere. You'll learn a lot and enjoy planning your trip.

Welcome from me also. As already stated the information and friendship on here is wonderful. I am still in the planning stages but moving forward each week ready to start a new life. Actually have had the Real Estate Agents in this week to start pricing the house and testing the market.
Will just have to have the universe work for me and get this house sold so I can buy a new one on wheels. So looking forward to enjoying God's garden, so I don't have to weed and feed all the time.
