A month today!!!

This time in exactly one calendar month, we will be on the road heading up to the far north coast of NSW- in fact, by now (it's 1pm) we may have in fact already arrived at our first stop- Yamba.
Wow. The time is flying by now. We went to Newcastle on the weekend and spent yet more money on bits and pieces and clothing for the trip. We also dropped the van off to my father-in-laws place in Taree...Beau is going to fix a few things up for us and make some improvements- which is really a great help!

Meanwhile, my to-do lists are continuing. I tick things off, then add more things! But we are getting a lot done. Mum and Dad have also been a great support and bought us some little extra creature comforts for the road (travel coffee mugs and handy storage bags for the car...)

I am trying to make a list of clothes to take. This is proving tough. I want to take lots of things, but of course i cant! Think i will start bigger, then just keep cutting back. There is very little space in the caravan itself, and we plan having just one back up bag, between us, in the back of the car. Yikes. But as Adam and Mum keep telling me, it's not like i am going on a fashion show... hehe

Am also condensing all toiletry and beauty products into a small pile. And deciding what other creature comforts can travel with us...most things need to be left behind i think.

My mind is not really on work- but I am getting it done and counting down the days left.

I am feeling excited, and also a bit nervous/sad in some ways as our leaving date draws near. I know that for me anyway- that's normal. I know i will miss the comfort of a proper house and bed at night...and I will miss my family very very much...along with close friends...and of course, the routine of my life here in port macquarie. Plus, I am about to give up full time work etc etc.

Overall though, i cant wait for the freedom and adventures to begin! So much lays before us. :-)
