Lightening Online

There are always bound to be a few.

So far we’ve had a couple of minor repairs to do on the caravan, a laptop that the disc drive has decided not to work in (fortunately we decided to put a DVD on in the caravan last night and discovered it so we can take the other laptop - not ideal but better than nothing) and a wet bed.

We’re figured a few hiccups now should ensure a trouble free trip.  Sounds reasonable doesn’t it? 

It’s all been fixable and deciding to sleep in the van last night was certainly a good move.

The kids went to sleep pretty late but I’m hoping the “first night in the caravan” excitement is over now.

I slept well although woke up at 5.30am this morning so I’m still weary.  Not to worry, I think tonight will be an early night for all.

Running between the house and the caravan has been a little wearying at times but at least it’s made this morning a little smoother.

It’s now 9.45 and I’m spending a few minutes on the net while Farmboy does a couple of last minute things.  I think we should be away sometime in the next half an hour which gets us on the road in good time.

I like sitting in the caravan with internet access - maybe we should just spend our 100 nights in the backyard.  LOL.  Just kidding!!!

Both Lleyton and Singstar Princess have come up to me and given me a hug and said thank you for making this big trip happen.  Totally unprompted.  It’s enough to make a mother cry.  I’m so glad they appreciate it and no doubt it’ll be a highlight in their childhood.  At least, that’s the plan.

Well, I’d better sign off so I can pack up my netbook.  Catch you again when I can.
