7 Days To Go
Permalink  

Well, had a garage sale. Sold about $1k worth of household goods. Everyone wanted it all for nothing. Well, what was left went lock stock and barrell to the Good Sammy's. The boat raised $4k.

Whats left of 43 years of married life is now in a 2005 Series 100 Landcruiser and 23 foot Royal Flair caravan. Leave next monday for Carnarvon then, Exmouth (We have rellie's so no parking problems) for new year. Then back to Perth for the Grandsons 18th in January. Any problems that did show up will rectified before leaving on the 5 year trip.

Regards

What about the glider in your avatar?  You can't tow that too!

PS: Is that a Blanik, if so how old?

Good luck for all your travels. There's something about Carnarvon that won my heart, but don't ask me to explain it.
It's a great part of the country. Don't forget to check out the blow holes at Quobba.
I have friends there living in a bus in one of the parks. He's Pres of Sea Rescue.
Anyway have a safe and happy trips wherever you go.

Hope your new adventure will be filled with all the thrills and happiness you surely deserve Noel, and the same goes for GOG too.

Before you hitch up, do try the little tip I gave you in this thread:-
http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=51933&p=3&topicID=32349168&page=2&sort=oldestFirst

It will certainly keep the nasty bits out of the ointment.
