With only a few days to go until we leave for fun, friends and sunshine the excitement is building. Something feels very different about our planning this time - last year I think we needed to go, this year we want to go.
Twelve months ago we didn't know what holidaying together would really be like so excitement was mixed with nervous anticipation. We both needed a holiday but we weren't really sure how it would go. This year we know what holidaying together is like - lots of bakery lunches, a bit of four wheel driving, lots of truck admiring, a bit of time exploring the land, lazy lie ins in the morning, laughs around the camp fire and a bit of blogging here and there - yep, all stuff we want. It makes me smile just thinking of all these things.
Last time our preparations and planning were based around what part of the country we would see, this time preparations are about which friends we will see. Stop 1 - Renmark - Vina & Trev, in Alice Springs - Pete & Di as well as Graeme & Vonda will be waiting and who knows who else. Then hopefully a visit with Liz and Frank on the way home. And hopefully, by then, we'll have added new names to the Alice friendship list.
So while we have learnt a lot about holidaying together from last year no doubt more adventures, learnings and experiences await us - and isn't that wonderful!
