It has been all go since the new year began. Time is certainly speeding up and it is now time to take stock of were we are at and how much is left to do.
It all started back in October, and that seems a decade ago now, when we read “The best life money can’t buy” written by Andy Deering. It inspired us to get out of the complacent life we had slipped into and follow a dream to travel around Australia.
We were now fired up and enthusiastic.
In the “third age” of our lives if we didn’t seize the day and “just do it” it would quickly become too late and life would then just be a case of “if only”.
I made lists. We set a date. Then cruised along.
Suddenly we found the perfect camper van to take us on our journey.
"Sunny boy" our home away from home.
We were just looking and had not planned to buy a van till approx February, but this one was too good to miss. Suddenly our plans and dreams became reality…
- Since then we have sold our Toyota Corolla car.
- Had a garage sale
- Sent surplus “stuff” to the Salvation Army.
- Thrown away lots of “junk”.
- Moved all our belongings into storage in the basement.
The last major things on the list is to give the house a complete, top to bottom, clean. Then find tenants…
So we are on track. Of course there are still a hundred and one little things to do, but the big ones have been accomplished and in 10 to 12 weeks we will be on the road.

Thanks Carole Ann for the comment. It gives me a real buzz when I find out people “out there” are sharing our adventure. I love the power of the internet…
