My home away from home
« on: May 27, 2012, 09:46:51 am »
Here we are sitting at Monkey Mia and doing very little for a month.


The little dinghy is what we put on the top of the car to travel. When we go east we leave the boat at home. The trees keep the afternoon sun off us. Note the wonderful flag flying in the breeze. That tells us when it is too windy to go fishing. (as in the photo)

Looks great Cookie.  My parents used to go away for months at a time up through NSW and Queensland in their caravan.  Absolutely loved the life they did.  My mum still talks fondly of their times away.  :D

I used to love camping, never graduated to a caravan but loved tenting - that was all in another life though.  A great set up you have there Cookie.

It's a hard life cookie, but someone has to do it. :)  Enjoy

Oh cookie what a wonderful little home away from home you have.

My parents dream was to do that but unfortunately God had better plans for dad  :'(

One day I will live their dream for them.

That's sad Mandi, many a dream has been curtailed by illness having it's way. Hopefully you can take your Mum away with you sometime in the future.

There is no time like the present to do whatever it is that is your dream - make the most of every opportunity as the day will come where you just cannot do it.  We were lucky in that we did all our travelling from the day we were married and although it was hard at times, we had many wonderful holidays before it all became just too hard and with no insurance company prepared to cover DH, we have had to accept the fact there will be no more cruises for us.

Some sad stories there.  :-* :-* :-* :-*

My DH has had the policy all our 44 years together to do it now, then in later years if we can we do it again, if we can't we've already done it and have the memories.

CC you are welcome anytime.
