Planning the trip

Well then. It's really happening.

The sale of the house and business has gone unconditional and settlement is set for the 18th Feb.

It's goodbye to Rosie & Dick's Pet Retreat in Agnes Water, QLD - and hello to life on the road for 12 months.

What the dickens have I done?

And I know it's really happening because I started packing up the storage containers that will hold my life for the next 12 months, yesterday.

I have space for 12 boxes in the car and already have 14 boxes packed. That doesn't bode well.

I haven't booked any pet friendly cabins yet.

I haven't bought the caravan we'll be living in yet.

There is so much to do....and weirdly, I can't be bothered to get stressed by any of it. Long may that continue.

You'll note the title of this 'footprint' is planning the trip. There's been none of that.

This may be my one opportunity to travel in my life, to experience the 'Aussie Dream' - so I'm taking it.

But I'll miss my Retreat.Read more
