On the road again...

We are off again for the weekend tomorrow. At a RIDICULOUS hour of the morning I might add. How plans change!

When Kym and I were invited to my cousin's wedding in Adelaide we thought "great, a chance for a nice weekend away together, maybe see a movie, go out to dinner, spot of shopping". So I booked nice acommodation (with a spa ;)) and we planned to wander over to Adelaide taking our time on Friday in time to be able to relax and enjoy each others company before the wedding on Saturday.

Then we received a bit of an unexpected windfall, and Kym thought maybe we should leave early in the morning as now we have enough money saved to buy ourselves a camper trailer. We are avid campers and have been erecting a tent for a very long time while our friends just flip out their camper trailer. Ok. No problem, just means we don't get to have that sleep in on Friday morning.

Then Princess Stephanie suggests that maybe we could take her with us, since she too has enough money saved to buy herself a small car. She pointed out that it would be a good opportunity to look at lots of cars as we don't go to Adelaide very often, and she wants to buy her car as soon as possible (before she is tempted to spend her savings!).

So. This means to look at both camper trailers AND small cars we would need at least the entire day in Adelaide on Friday. Considering it's a 5 and a half hour drive that means leaving at around 4am. Did you get that 4AM!

We thought about leaving tonight and staying about half way, but really, that's just $150 on accommodation that we don't need to spend. So 4am it is.

Instead of a leisurely day spent shopping and eating in nice cafes we are looking at car yards and caravan places. Sigh.

And instead of nice quiet romantic evenings, we have a teenager with us.

You know what they say about the best laid plans!
