It's all happening Guys

Hi Guys, to cut a very long story short here we are, Alice and I are on an adventure, and we are very happy and excited about it all, but we still have to wait, yep all the stuff is in the middle of the Ocean, and on it's way, hope they don't sink

Anyway our 5th wheeler, our IVECO tow unit are probably sea sick by now, they are both due on the docks around middle July, and yea they have to be sniffed ,

and all that sort of stuff.

Well that is not our problem,

So to date the new caravan we bought is gone, the TAK, is gone

, na it is all good.

The house sold in 6 houres, yep I kid you not, through word of mouth, someone was interested, and put in a offer that day.

We had just signed the papers, but rang him and said someone wants it, he said, "well i really haven't done anything yet", and waived the fees, how cool is that.

another 5 grand in our pocket.
I go to Melbourne tomorrow, the SS is gone as well.

Anyway have a look at what we get for being old

Leon

Leon, I'm bloody envious, mate

You and your wife have taken the bull by the horns and decided on a new direction in life. I'm sure the decisions have been far from easy, especially selling the material items, but in the end that's all they are, material posessions. I hope to have your passion and drive in a few years time. I sincerely wish you both the utmost pleasure with your new fifth-wheeler and best wishes as you enter a new chapter of your lives.

Well Leon, there's no excuse for not making it to Qld Astrofest this year.

Qld in August is very nice, you don't need any gear, there is more than enough to go around and there should be some familiar faces there. A perfect shakedown trip for the new rig.

Kevnool (Kev) · #18 09-06-2010, 08:14 PM

Best of luck on your travels Leon you shall get many comments from other travellers about her...will she have a name on the windscreen of the Iveco.

Cheers Kev.

leon · #19 09-06-2010, 08:45 PM
