Pick up day Friday, 12th March 2010

Well, we've finally got our rig all sorted.  Had the hitch fitted to the truck today and had a run through with all the ins and outs of how to operate all the gadgets.  We've bought the truck back to Stacha and John's place and left the 5th Wheel at the dealership where we bought it and will pick it up at the end of the month.  We don't have anywhere in the city to keep it and it's a bit scary to take it through town first time out.  We are taking the truck for a short trip down to New Orleans and then to Panama City to visit some people we know who we took on the sand dunes at Stockton when they were visiting Lake Macquarie.  So, we leave on Monday and will be back to Houston in about a week.  This will be a good chance to try out the internet connections we can pick up along the way and also get used to the roads.

Can't wait to try it all out.  Just love it.  We couldn't afford all this in Australia.
