It's Getting Near The Time
Permalink  

Hi everyone,the time has finally come for us to do a bit of serious travelling,we have decided to let our youngest daughter live in and look after our house for us while we take off on a extended trip around this great land of ours.

Today we went out and bought a new van a 20ft starcraft from Jayco which we pick up around the end of June,then in July we'll hit the road and just follow our dreams...Norm and Kath..

Well good for you. Make sure the van is all you expect before you do the long run. Shake down trips to iron out any glitches.
All the best to you.

Some wonderful adventures ahead for you Norm & Kath.

I totally agree with Margaret....do a short trip first so that you can sort out what you need and what you can live without. 

It will also sort out any issues thta may arise with the van.

Might I also add congratulations.
