We've Finally Taken That Big Step

G'day forumites
After a few years of threatening to do it, we've finally taken the big step.
The house is sold and I've given notice to finish 34 years of work at the end of July.
Then, it's load the van and the Toyota and hit the road. Might be for 6 months or 6 years (or more).
We have absolutely no plan except to hightail it north to some warmer weather. Too cold in Geelong in winter to hang around too long.
We have lots of relatives strung up the east coast, so we reckon we might head up high to begin with and slowly move south as the weather warms up. Then again, we might finish up going west.
As well as the van, the car will have all of our camping gear, so we'll occasionally ditch the van and head to the scrub for a week or two.
We brought the van new 4 years ago and it's never been out of the shed, so there's a few jobs to do. Like new batteries!
As we make final preparations, I'll be calling on the experience and wisdom of forum members for advice and information. I hope you'll bear with me.
In the meantime, only 68 days to go.
Cheers
Jeff
