Holidays all but finished

I have spent the last 4 fantastic weeks holidaying at Coffs Harbour. What a wonderful spot to spend our bitterly cold winter. Tomorrow we head home to Mt Beauty just in time for me to pack up my Astro gear for BSG in Albury.

It has been great catching up with Mozzie and Elise and the boys (I think Peter is standing them in manure as the difference in the last year is astounding). Great kids, lovely family and a great place to live. I'm jealous Pete. Catch up with you next year matey.

Thanks again Peter.

Hey Doug,
If you are travelling down the Pacific Hwy, and you can call in for a rest stop and a cuppa here, I live just north of Wyong. I'd like to meet you. We can swap Power station stories.

Don't you just hate when holidays come to an end.

I always find that after two days back at work it's like you've never had any.

Safe trip home Doug.

Hi Allan, I only just saw your post or I would have dropped by. With the weather not being very friendly for the trip I just kept going and ended up stopping for the night in MossVale. Quite a drive but it will make the run home tomorrow quite a bit easier.
Thanks for the offer.

Cheers

Hi Ric, fortunately I still have a couple of weeks to go. Off to Border Star Gaze on Wednesday then off to shop for a new caravan. This one is just 12 months old but SWMBO wants something different. This should be worth a new mount for me, I hope.

Well JJJ I dropped into Jayco Albury on the way home today and bought a nice new 20' full van with a toilet and shower for Helen. Pick it up in a couple of weeks. No point stuffing around. SWMBO is happy so all is well.
