I can't believe it we are about to make our first trip in our new van

mind you our van is 14 months old -  let me explain

mid 2012 we had our house up for sale, van ordered getting close to retirement (we are both in our 50's)

my fit and healthy husband all of a sudden took ill - to cut a long story short

after 6 months in i.c.u. then 2 months in rehab and continued rehab from home

(we didn't sell our house) we are now so excited to get away for a couple of weeks to Port Hughes

a bit scared as well as I have to tow the van as Ed cant drive at this stage but we are working on this

What we have both learned from this is live your life to the full and enjoy every minute while you can

We hope to see some of you on the road smile

Saw a movie today which echoes your sentiments, its called "About Time". I can highly recommend it, you should put it on your bucket list. Enjoy

And the van didn't get old while you were waiting - it's still new. Drive safely and enjoy your break.
