The year is now 2020
2020 was the last post, but here we are in 2022 and i am still around, very little travel these day and i miss it

This will be my last post, I would like to turn this into a photo book for my children and grand children's to remember us by, I am now a great grand mother, and time is marching on toward the end of my journey, It is a project that I do not really know if i can achieve, however time will tell.....

Here we are September 2017....
Time is moving on and I am ready to go on the road again, however this trip should be slightly different but I will not be traveling on my own, I am taking 2 grand children with me for 2 weeks and see how we go... Blake ( my son's son and Tayah, my daughter's daughter) It should make it interesting to say the least
Departure date is the 25th September.
We will keep this blog live and post photos.Until then......be safe and happy

So many things have happened since I became a "blogger" The year is now 2015 . Today is the 17 January. It is the first time that I open this blog since my husband passed away 20 Month ago, it was hard and good all in one!!!! The sickness and the Parkinson finally got John... I would love to travel again, but alas I do not have a van anymore and cannot afford to get even the smallest one.... Given a chance I would retrace the trip that we did in South Australia, we had a fabulous time together and SA is fantastic. 35 years of marriage is hard to forget and harder to move on... We traveled all over Australia together and within the next few weeks, all going well and to plan, I will upload photos of previous trips taken. Australia is a fantastic country and should be traveled more....

In 2008 my husband was diagnosed with Lewybody disease ( a combination of Parkinson disease and dementia), not a nice thing to have, time is short. We now have come back from South Australia, as the blog tells you, and I realized that many things had to change as I have to deal with the day to day details with the caravan as well as looking after John. The system needed to change as far as the towing implement was concerned and we now have a Reece System. We also have a system to lift the roof of the van with a motor (we have a pop up), as I cannot lift my arms very well and lifting the roof was getting too hard. My arms were damaged in a fall and the tendons were torn. I honestly believe that having disabilities should not stop anybody to achieve some goals and travel, and it is my intention to keep this blog up to date with our travel and the progression of the sickness while traveling.
We have recently purchased "Rosie" a demount-able gopher, Rosie partly fits in the boot of the car and partly in the van; the batteries fits under a seat in the van and Rosie' seat, fits on the back seat of the car with a seat belt, however rest assured that we have enough room to also fit our little dog in the car. I also have decided to give the van a name, and I would invite readers to send me some names to choose from,of course it should be easy and fun and reflect the nature of what we are doing..... over to you and good luck.
