3 Days - Last Minute Hustle

The last minute hustle is now on - what fits in the suitcase, what doesn't, what is too heavy, what can I take in hand luggage, will I really need that, have you packed........, are you sure you don't want to take........, will I be able to take a suitcase and a backpack and a laptop on board?  The questions are endless and the time is ticking away.

I think I might just chill out and go to the Caravan and Camping Expo at Rosehill, or maybe play golf, or anything to get away from it all.

Leave as little time as possible to worry about it .... after all we all work better when we have a deadline looming!!

Finally - The Last Piece of the Puzzle

It has taken until 5 days from blast-off, but finally, the last piece of the puzzle has gone into place. 

After an exhausting search of retail outlets from the Monaro region to the South Coast, Hunter Region and Sydney's Northern Beaches, a pair of PURPLE THONGS has been sourced and they are now proudly being worn by PT#1. 

Phew, I was beginning to think that this day would never come.  I am now a complete traveller, and can handle anything that is thrown at us.

PS. I wonder if our travel insurance covers Tornadoes ??

7 Days to Go

Can't believe that in just seven days time we will be winging our way across the Pacific.  The last week has gone really quickly.  Time to get ourselves ready with stuff to pack, as well as getting contractors organised.  I hope that the next week doesn't go too quickly.  There is a LOT to do.

Maureen and Brian have had a new addition to the family, so they have had plenty on their plates as well.  I guess they will be looking forward to the break as much as we are.

Our Home Away From Home

This is the 30ft Cab-over RV with slide out lounge room that we will be calling home for the best part of a month.  Lets hope we all get on together sharing one small bathroom.  Did we remember to pack the air freshener??

Keeping Mauzie Happy

Have had an enquiry from the southerners regarding the blogspot.

Here is our latest post.  Not a great deal to report - just 20 days to go and counting.

Having some fun trying to tie down exact details on what we can take with us as hand luggage.  Have a suitcase and a small backpack each, but Helen is now wondering about the possibility of packing her hair straightener (beauty at any price) and I also have a laptop. 

Qantas doesn't really help much, and the travel agent didn't know his freckle from his forehead.

Will seek to clarify tomorrow.

Cheers,

23 Days to Go

Creating our first blog just 23 days out from departure.  All appears to be in order with tickets, accommodation and motor home.  Getting very excited, and can only imagine that the excitement from Moth and Mauzie in Canberra is building too.

We intend to keep you updated on a daily basis with news, descriptions and photos of our great American adventure, so please tune in daily.
