2017 was an extremely busy year. Somehow we ended up at the Sydney Caravan and Motorhome show where we were persuaded to depart with some significant  “hard-earned”. We took delivery in May, taking a short trip to Nowra, and then almost immediately flew to Queensland for Fiona and Don’s wedding. Returning home we had to organise the registration for the motorhome before boarding a plane for USA to go on our 15-day Trip-a-Deal tour of USA and Canada, including a cruise to Alaska. At the conclusion of this wonderful holiday, we spent 8 days in Hawaii, Turtle Beach, with Fiona, Don and Casper, Steve and Jess. This was to celebrate, my 70th, Fi and Don’s 40th, and anything else worth celebrating. When we got home we embarked on a 2-month trip in our new motorhome through Central Australia with John and Anne Mann and Rob and Pauline Priest. I hope you enjoy our stories.
