Doreen is retiring in July and we intend to rent the house out and hit the road for two or three years, we have accomodation organised when return home maybe once or twice a year for a visit. We plan to work (pay or accomodation) when necessary, I will be spending the time between now and July getting the rig ready for travel and organising the the essentials fridge, genie etc. I have organised a three month caretaking position in western Qld. between August and Christmas 2010 in Dec/Jan 2010/11 we will be attending the national caravan rally in Elmore in Vivtoria and after that we intend to follow our nose for two or three years with trips back home when necessary for Grandkid fixes.

Oh.......that was good..............Thanks Ibbo...........I'm still wiping my eyes. Where do you get these bits of humour?? Do you practice or does it come naturally??
Haven't laughed so much in years.
That's almost as funny as when you were trying to convince that Chinese doctor that you didn't drink alcohol. The look on his face, when you were trying to stand, without leaning, against the broken coffee table......was priceless.
