Almost there

House contents almost packed away, house sitters have moved in so lots of boxes lying around. Ours to be filled, theirs to be unpacked. At least we now have a motor home to move into. We have bought a 1995 Mercedes diesel, 4 berth, with shower & toilet, and most importantly, a gas heater. Have bought from a Townsville couple who are coming home after 11 months away. Only concern now is our overnight stop in Tokyo. The water may be contaminated so will have to drink beer & wine only.

Getting ready

Busy packing personal belongings to rent out the house to help cover living expenses o/seas. Have emailed a couple of  motorhome dealers in the UK and an early 90's diesel with shwr & toilet  will cost between GBP 8500 and 9500 with crockery, cutlery, pots & pans. They will buy back at 60% after 6 months, so much cheaper than renting. Still hoping for a private buy around 6500. In 3 weeks from now should be landing at Heathrow.
