Our Last Day

WARWICK we are back where we had our first night on the 17th January 2009, where have the last 87 weeks and 1 day gone? It just feels like yesterday that we left home.

What an incredible adventure we have had travelling around this great land clocking up 78,000km’s of trouble free motoring. We will get a new windscreen on our return as have a chip and a crack and last week we got our first puncture caused by a splinter from some wooden edging in the caravan park, so can’t complain.

People ask where our favourite spot is and where could we live, a tough question, every area has great spots. In an ideal world it would be great to follow the sun and have a month or so in different spots, would have to include Coral Bay in WA for the snorkeling off the beach, Port Douglas here in QLD again for the beach and relaxed atmosphere. Northern NSW is also nice and you would have to spend some time in Tasmania, I could go on and on. There are too many spectacular sights to mention and must say we have done some great walks, alas haven’t lost any weight.

Have loved living in our house on wheels, it has everything that you want and makes it a horrible thought going to our storage shed next week and unpacking our ‘stuff’, can see another garage sale on the agenda.

The only thing we would do differently is that we would buy a satellite dish, Paul loves the TV and there are a lot of places where you only get two or three channels. As you can imagine having a laptop has been great and I have enjoyed sharing our days with the blog, thank you for following it. Thanks to the folks who have kept in touch, it has been much appreciated and nice to know that we weren’t forgotten.

It is now exciting that we are going home tomorrow and really looking forward to seeing Mum and Dad and friends who we haven’t seen since the first week of January this year. Have really loved not having a job and being footloose and fancy free so going back to reality and getting a job is daunting, fingers crossed that our lotto numbers come up.

If you are looking to travel anywhere and would like some hints and tips, just give us a yell.

Farewell for now from Mrs Cara Van and Paul until lap 2!
