Good news, the travelling Puss is heading to Northern NSW coast with her caravan and trusty driver. Sooty is escaping the cold and I deserve a holiday too. |

I must admit that Puss is making such trips sound enticing. Perhaps I am over the clenched fists on the steering wheel and bleary eyesfrom my 2014 trip. Looking forward to reading about the adventures! |

Sooty I am watching Martin Clunes Australian Islands show. I think he mentioned that there are 8000 or so Islands that circle Austraila. |

Agate, look when he does the South Australian islands. I always try and get visitors to Hindmarsh and Kangaroo Island. Puss notes " I've been promised KI but someone is scared of the car ferry. I'm working on her". Edited by sooty, Jun 9 2018, 12:08 PM.

RV trips are a wonderful way to go - travel while staying in your own home. Great for Puss and mistress. We are hoping to get away for a week with only one dog on Monday. The old one is wandering, needs to be carried out and in. The Beagle wants to retire, doing nothing but eating. |

Puss writes , less than a week and we are off. House is in total chaos as usual. Which clothes? Of course the fur coat. Food tuna and chicken pellets. Toiletries one tray for the car and one for the van. My favourite rug. Now was that hard? no,not at all. Meanwhile my companion is making harder choices -laptop or portable tv and DVDs for the cold evenings. The perennial knitting for a scarf that may be finished in 2020. She used to do squares for rugs but her hands get sore with the arthritis. Gifts for friends and family enroute. The list is endless and she worries that something will be forgotten. |

"Of course the fur coat." :-) Clever, cat! "The list is endless..." There's your trouble. Short List: Keep It Simple Silly Edited by Not That Esme, Jul 1 2018, 05:31 PM.

Esme, my carer likes the KISS principle but it's not really in her gene pool. A friend sent her this English poem and it fits her to a t. Still I love her as my mum with no fur. Just In Case I’m going to the sea for the weekend, in a couple of days I’ll be back, so I’ll just take my little brown suit and a blouse and a beret and carry my mac. But what if the house is a cold one, the house where I’m going to stay, no fires after April, no hot drinks at night and the windows wide open all day? I’d better take one – no, two cardies and my long tartan scarf for my head, and my chaste new pyjamas in case they decide to bring me my breakfast in bed, and what about church on Sunday? I could wear my beret and suit, but if it were sunny, it would be a chance to wear my straw hat with the fruit. I can’t wear my little brown suit, though not with the straw and the fruit, so I’ll just take a silk dress to go with the straw and a silk scarf to go with the suit. I’ll just take my jeans and that jumper in case we go out in the car, and my Guernsey in case we go out in a boat and d’you know where my swimming things are? D’you think I should take that black velvet in case they’ve booked seats for a play? And is it still usual to take your own towel when you go somewhere to stay? I had thought of just taking slippers, but they do look disgustingly old, I’d better take best shoes and sandals and boots for the church and the heat and the cold. I daren’t go without my umbrella in case I’m dressed up and it rains; I’m bound to need socks and my wellies for walking down long muddy lanes. I’d rather not take my old dressing gown, it is such a business to pack, but s’pose they have breakfast before they get dressed I’d have to have mine in my mac. I’m going away for the weekend, in a couple of days I’ll be back, so I’ll just take my little brown suit and a blouse, two cardies, my long tartan scarf, my chaste new pyjamas my straw hat with the fruit, my silk dress, my silk scarf, my jeans, that jumper, my Guernsey, my swimming things, my black velvet, my towel, my slippers (no one need see them) my sandals, my boots, my umbrella my socks, my wellies my dressing gown, no, not my dressing gown, Ok my dressing gown, and a beret and carry my mac.

That was a fun read, sooty! And I understand. :-) It's the carry-on overhead storage compartment that keeps me in check. |

To funny sooty and so true. That over head storage thing keeps me light to but it can be a different story when you pack the trailer & car. |
