I have just set up this blog for our next big trip: a visit to our children in Western Australia. The itinerary in a nutshell is: we leave home on the 23rd of December and take the day ferry to Melbourne. We then drive out to Beaufort to be reunited with our little caravan. The next day we start our trip and go as far as Horsham where we dig in for shopping, Christmas Day, resuming on Boxing Day and going (north) west towards Port Pirie and beyond. After Port Augusta we swing down into the Eyre Peninsula for a look around, resuming the trip westwards at Ceduna. If the weather and travelers' tips are positive we will swing northwards at Kalgoorlie as far as Leinster and then westwards to Mt Magnet. Then it's a run into and beyond Perth to Rockingham and specifically the suburb of Singleton. After staying with Adam and Miriam we will proceed southward to Albany and specifically the suburb of Lower King/Bayonet Head (whatever) to stay with Renske and Len and Stacy and Dominic and ......
In due course (....) we will go eastwards again, this time through Esperance and then back across the Nullarbor to meet up with the ferry on 30th of January.
You will notice that immediate plans are very definite, but become progressively vaguer for dates further out. This is quite deliberate, because the (herewith) stated aim of this holiday is to relax from the busy-ness of everything and retrieve our puff, as the Dutch would say. That is why we will have Christmas at Horsham and New Year somewhere round Ceduna or parts west.
The only downside I can see to this plan is that we may be out of communication range for the Boxing Day Test. Oh well, we've as good as won the Ashes, anyway.
