Happy New year!!!

2010 has gone by very very fast.

I can't believe it is over.

It honestly feels like yesterday we were celebrating the New Year in by a tranquil beach at the Town of 1770.

2010 for us has seen a few changes.

Nothing to drastic or unmanageable.

On review of the year quickly in my head, we have been fortunate and blessed.

It has been a 'stable' year.

2011 will be a different kettle of fish however (in a good way).

This family of (5) have enjoyed holidays in our caravan for (4) years now.

So much so that we are off on a caravan journey of a lifetime for (6) months around our wonderful country!!

Hubby has long service leave approved for the second half of 2011.

Come the June/July school holidays off we go!!

I still find it hard to believe that it is actually going to happen.

Fine details yet to be fully worked out but essentially:

• Home will be rented out to subsidise holiday
• Kids will do some form of distance education (Hubby used to be a Teacher which is a bonus)
• We will go counter clockwise around the country heading north initially for the dry/cooler season.
• I might need medication to control 'homesickness' as I am a bit of a homebody.

One of Hubby's Xmas presents. The research has begun.

The  'Jayco' Outback. Home for (6) months.

The planets are aligning and the preparation is beginning.

The O&E family is very very fortunate to have this opportunity available to us.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.

See you in 2011!!
