McLaren Vale June 2011

McLaren Vale June 2011

– We had Ethan overnight on Friday, as Carly had a minor Operation “to clear her head”. At about 9:30 we set out over to Des’s to pick up the van. While we were there, some people we sold some furniture to arrived and packed up a whole lot of stuff to take away, it was so good to see it go and the house empty out. Continue reading

Finally, we get our New Caravan, aka Christening our New Caravan

Friday 3 June 2011

We arrived late to pick our Caravan,  around 3:50pm.

The van was as ready as it was going to be, still a few issues that couldn’t be resolved before we picked it up, but we have been assured they will be fixed when we get back from our Big Holiday.

We had a really helpful handover guy look after us, Andy, and we eventually got away around 5:45pm (just after dark).

Wednesday 9 March 2011 Good bye Port Broughton

We left the caravan park by 9am and were home, after picking up Aiko, at 11:30am.

(Aiko is our dog, for those of you who aren’t quite sure who this Aiko is)

As usual, within ½ hour you wouldn’t know that we had been away.

Can’t wait for the next trip.

Maybe take the camper trailer down (and a few grandchildren) to Deep Creek NP for a long weekend in May, its camp fire time from then.
