Today the 24th August leaves us just one month to go before we head of up the track on our adventure. We are all getting very excited now and there is a lot of last minute planning that needs to start to happen.
Mainly a food list, although I think Nita might have that just about organised, I have done the spreadsheets for the itinery for the families so they can keep track on us and keep up to date. The spare bed is starting to have things placed upon it, like clothing, and bits and pieces that are to be taken.
We have checked out the Motorhome last weekend in Adelaide. We were lucky enough to be at the pick up point when there was one similar to the one we should be getting in the yard. I have to admit once we stepped inside I did not want to leave and could have taken off then and there. Guess there may have been 4 younger people that would have been a little peeved if we had done that.
All is looking good for the launch date, we have booked our accommodation for the night before and the night we arrive back, settled on parking our cars at the long term car park at the Adelaide Airport. Seems to be the most convienent and cheapest at this point in time. Just looking forward to seeing some sunshine and warmer weather.

It is getting closer.
Time is running away with the year and we are only about 5 weeks away from going on our trip.
Nita and I have checked out a compariable Motor home in Adelaide over the weekend, this made it even more real. Booked our accommodation for the night before and the night of return, worked out where we will shop for groceries before we go and have started to settle on plans.
Shopping for summer clothing is proving a bit of a sticking point at this time. It could be the weather down here, just not having us in the mood, however there does not seem to be much in the shops at present. K-Mart has proved a godsend for some t-shirts and things for the kids.
Now must really settle down to put the final touches to lists and itinery and then wait for the calendar to tick away the days. Not quite down to working out how many sleeps just yet.
