Day Zero
Last night at the dinner table, Trailer Boy was saying “I wish we could go for 101 sleeps”. Isn’t that just like kids? No matter how much you give them, they always want more. Hang on, sometimes adults are like that too! LOL. Anyway, I said to him “well, we ARE having 101 sleeps in the caravan”.
Tonight, the plan is to eat and sleep in the caravan.
There are a couple of reasons for this.
The first is that I need to wash up all the bedding so it makes sense to do all the washing today and as of late this afternoon, everyone needs to start wearing what we’re taking. That way, everything left behind is clean (it’s not something I usually have to worry about when we’re going away for a few weeks).
The second is that by doing this, hopefully it’ll be glaringly obvious if we’ve forgotten something. And we’re still at home to grab it. At least we can’t forget the pillows this way!!!!
The third is that it gives us the 101 nights Trailer Boy is asking for. LOL. He has very nicely thwarted Farmboy’s idea that we could come home a day early and still have been in the caravan for 100 nights though. LOL. Clever kid!!! 
So today is all about cleaning and washing. My poor washing machine has been working rather hard. There are a few bits and pieces to pack but other than that, we’re pretty much ready to go.
Hopefully by dinner time tonight, it’ll feel like our holiday has started.
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Lightening
You are going to have the time of your lives on this trip:)
So much to see and so much to do, the kids will love it (so will you too)
A week Sunday (12th) we’ll be driving up the same highway (the Newell) to Bowen and will be staying there for 8 weeks so like you we’ll hopefully miss most of the winter weather
Don’t forget the key word - fun
Take care
Cathy
I hope that you all have a fantastic time. Make sure you take lots of photos to share, would love to see them.
Have a fabulous time.
Don’t forget that we want to see lots and lots and lots of photos!
I think sleeping in the caravan is a fabulous idea! So your holiday starts now! I’m sure the kids are home from school now and it’s all systems go….
….sob….sniffle….
Can I come? I won’t take up much room. You won’t even know I’m there. I’ll be really REALLY good!
And can I bring my cat? He will be good too, and take up even less room than me.
I’ll be quiet as a mouse…promise!
We are both house (or caravan) trained…..
PLEASE!!!!! Pretty pretty please????
I won’t eat much.
I’ll bring chocolate.
Sharon - ROFLOL. I needed that laugh right now. Feeling a bit worn out and stressed with all the last minute stuff. Do you think it will really matter if I don’t get the house cleaned before we go????
Cathy - I hope you enjoy yourselves. I’m sure you will.
Thanks for the good wishes and we’ll be sure to post lots of photo’s as we go.
Of course it doesn’t matter if your house isn’t spotless….let your housesitters take care of it! They will forgive you!
I notice that you didn’t answer my question? I’m sure Farmboy wouldn’t mind!
No, I’m sure Farmboy wouldn’t mind at all!!!! LOL.
Safe travels
Have a safe trip, enjoy this time that God has blessed you with. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts as you travel.
Godspeed
