On the Road At Last
7th May 2006
We have finally begun our journey.
We left our friends place where we stored our caravan at 10.20am to meet up with Matthew & Pauline in Werribee to say our goodbyes.
Matthew had done some last minute tweaking on the laptop before we left. So we needed to collect it on the way through.
It was a good time to have our final hugs and kisses before we left.
(Even though they rang us on the mobile 10 minutes later to tell us that they missed us already) 
Next stop-off point was at David (Arthur’s Nephew) & Sandra’s in Stanhope to meet the newest arrival in the family. A little bundle of joy that arrived 3 months ago. His name is Haidyn and we enjoyed lots of hugs, kisses and smiles from him.
We will need to invest in another blanket for the bed in this weather.
We left early the next morning (Monday) and stopped in Shepparton to pick up a water conditioner that Arthur had ordered previously.
We then headed for Cohuna for a weeks rest, (after the stress of packing up the house and finalising everything with the surgeon for Arthur).
After setting up camp in the local caravan park, we went to visit Arthur’s Mum and sister Mary and hubby, Evan.
Not long after we arrived, Matthew rang again to keep in touch with our travels so far.
Mum had prepared a lovely meal for us and we enjoyed a warm cosy evening of catching up on news of family and friends.
We headed back to the caravan just before 10pm to have an early night as we had planned a few tasks for the next few days.
One being organising the caravan so that we can find things. Before we left at the last minute, we just threw things into cupboards so that they wouldn’t fly around whilst we were travelling, but this morning we couldn’t find quite a few things. So the tidy up is a priority.
Tonight the caravan is nice and cosy, so I hope it isn’t too cold and we get a well earned good night sleep finally.
Dear Dawn, I hope you had a lovely birthday on Saturday. I am waiting to read about your next update, this is so cool being able to stay with you while you’re travelling around. Enjoy yourselves and take care.
love Robynne
Thank you so much.
I did have a great birthday.
It is a good idea to have the blog to keep family and friends in touch. (My son’s idea).
