ONE WEEK TO GO

The camper trailer is packed with all our camping gear, the Jeep has been serviced, maps memorised, the itinerary has been planned, changed, fine tuned and prepared to be dismissed. The excitement is unbearable. This trip is something we have been planning since May and now it is only one week away.

There is so much we need to do. Because of the horse flu, it has been difficult to find someone to look after the horses.. It will be a worrying time as the horse flu is in our street and we are hoping the hoses on the automatic watering system don't burst off the taps. We will have to rely on our non horsey neighbours to watch for flu symptoms and pray that the horses don't develop a secondary illness. We have a theory though that our horses think they are human and therefore can't possibly catch the horse flu. We also hope the horses don't guts the round bales of lucerne that we are leaving out for them. So this afternoon we are double checking the fences, the watering system etc. Leisa is very nervous about leaving the horses with the flu being so close.

Our camper trailer is a Lifestyle Camper. http://www.lifestylecampertrailers.com.au/index.php?page=home

It has a queen size innerspring mattress, a 12 volt system so Leisa can charge her camera batteries and lots of other nice things. We can set the trailer up in 90 seconds. That means that once we reach a camp site, it is only 90 seconds till chardy time. There is so much storage space, that will we not fill the camper and the Jeep will only carry an esky for convience and Leisa's camera gear.

Here is our set up. (the camper photos were taken with a camera phone)
