All systems GO

Everything is on track. Settlement for the house is on the 9th of May and all the last minute modification to the van are underway. We have decided to invest in a brand new Nissan Patrol. the Old one is doing fine and has given us no trouble but we had the opportunity to buy a new one at a great price so now have a vehicle that is under warranty ready to go for the trip and the 2001 model can retire to a good home and not pull the Watergate behind it anymore. Julie now only has 3 weeks to go before finishing work and the kids only have 48 days of school and counting. Steve finishes on the 29th of June and then away we go.
