How,

Well, the countdown has started. 3 days left. The current Den is packed and the I start packing the Tug tomorrow. House nearly all tidy and clean. The new owner came around today for a chat so showed her all the tricks of the trade. She is rapped, I am rapped. Happy camper am I. 

I will be a full time Grey Nomad just before the sun rises Monday. Bring it on biggrin

Can't believe how quickly this has all fallen into place for you, Doug.  To my way of thinking, the way it all fell into place is a very positive indicator that it is exactly the right thing for you for right now.  Congratulations friend, you have definitely worked hard for your "on the road fulltime" status.    Enjoy!

    cheers   Capricorn and Pisces

How,

Two days to go.

Avan packed, Tug nearly packed. Just a few odd bits (including me) and pieces to go now. Cleaning as I go too.

Phew!! I'm buggered though, I'm getting too old for this and I tell you that for free.

Best wishes from me too, Doug. You and John (Yeoeleven) are living proof that almost anything can be achieved by thorough planning - deciding what you want, how to do it, and then just diving in and doing it. I've got about a year still to go before joining the playground full time and the first big step will happen shortly when the bus goes in for its conversion to a MH. Then my planning will start in earnest.

Will you be lurking in the playground until the new Den arrives?
