On the Road Again...........

As sung by Mr. "Mary-Jane" Willie Nelson, we will be on the road again mid January 2016..... and we can't wait!!

A lot has occurred in the past 2 years, I believe point form is the best option here :)

• 2014
• Easter - went to Vic to see family and friends and drove around like blue arsed flies
• May - went to the Dooben 10,000 with friends from work
• May - Dave went to New Zealand for work to show unsuspecting English backpackers how to "harass with purpose"
• July - Dave became the mono-kidney dude (good times!!)
• June - my contract at QBE got extended to October 2014
• August - Dave went back to work and became supervisor of the afternoon shift
• September - went to another Swell Festival in Currumbin
• November - contract at QBE got extended for 1 month, started looking for work
• December - I started work at BCB on the Gold Coast, bought a $2,000 piece of crap car, quiet Christmas with Aunt Jane and friends, New Years Eve in Tyagarah

• 2015
• February - uncomfortable 2 weeks of recovery at home for Dave
• Easter - we spent a relaxing weekend up in Mount Tamborine being pampered (much deserved by Dave)
• April - moved down the hall to a larger unit (no more cabin fever)
• plenty of socializing with friends and family on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane - lifestyle up here is awesome!!
• Car has had the following added :  Dobinson Suspension, Transmission Cooler, Safari Snorkel, 3" Exhaust, Outback 2 Drawer System, Polyair Springs (she's ready to go baby!!)
• August - sold our caravan and bought a Cub Camper trailer
• September - camped at Cabarita Beach and Beaudesert to try the camper trailer out (Dave made an instructional video on how to clean up spilt wine).
• October - attended Hens and Bucks parties and the stunning wedding of said Hen and Buck (should have got shares in Berroca)
• December - resigned from our jobs, Christmas work parties, drove to Vic to spend Christmas with family - twas noice!!

• January 2016 - leave our rental unit in Varsity Lakes, pack up the car & camper trailer and we're off...............

A big two years for us up here on the Gold Coast. We have met some truly wonderful people and enjoyed our respective work places. When the proverbial crap hits the fan, your true friends certainly shine through. Not only did we receive support from family and friends in Vic but also from people we've only recently met, who provided a kind word, genuine concern and interest in our welfare and a comforting hug. Thanks to you all.

BIG thank you to Aunt Jane, Michael and Bec (and Mia, Bugsy, Paris & Choccie) for their love and friendship, which has only increased in the past couple of years. I cannot convey the depth of our gratitude for your unconditional love and support (well, maybe I just did :)). Wherever we stop, there will always be a room for you guys.

So, onto our travels...... full on travelling for 12 months! no working as we go this time, just all out travel and exploring. Finish what we started.... stay tuned.
