Skin Waits Patiently

    Only 16 more sleeps to go and so much to do before we depart. Skin has decided to wait in the Rig and hopped into his car seat yesterday with his backpack beside him.

(I don't know how long it will take him to realize that 16 sleeps is quite a long time to be sitting in a seat. He has already spent one night in the van and refuses to budge.)

I am beginning to write my 'idiots guide to mechanics book' as well as my 'idiots guide to all things technological and metal' book. I have to pack everything in tiny proportions and in even tinier containers to not only fit in my van but to also be able to pull it northwards.

Time marches on as our preparations continue......

Only Three Weeks To Go

I am starting to pack the Lunasea rig and Skin has chosen his travelling clothes already.

He became so excited last week that he woke up with a mouth and arms! Now I suppose I will have to feed him and put up with a noisy companion. Look at his thongs! He certainly looks ready for the Queensland weather. I have a re-occurring feeling that I should buy him an umbrella and possibly large gumboots as well.

Next Saturday we are both being interviewed by the editor of the CMCA. ( Caravan and Motorhome Club of Australia ). We will both feature in the CMCA magazine and be seen by hundreds of travelling Grey Nomads before we even set off. April 3rd is our day of departure. Only 22 sleeps to go!!!!
