Reading these posts I have to rethink my current mind set. Been travelling outback Australia for 6 months of the year for the last 12 years. Most camping in the outback is free. Every week or so we duck into a campsite so we can have a decent shower, fill up with water, buy groceries and empty...

I can relate to your story Happy Wanderer. Not directly, but one of our friends lives in a small town in Louisiana. Got stopped by police for going through a stop sign. She told the officer she had been doing this for 39 years and never been stopped before! Go figure. cheers, Case

Fantastic Tom. Looks great. Hope you gets lots of pleasure and comfort from your new rig. regards, Case

Greetings, I have been driving over 150.000 km in The Land Down Under and never been pulled over by Police. Hope it will continue on my 6 months stint around the Western part of the USA this spring. As for the "being chatted up by police". In this part of the word that has a different meaning...

I am with NY_Dutch. Need the wife. In the last 12 years I have spent 6 months of the year in New Zealand and the other 6 months in outback Australia. One year the wife flew back to NZ early as the oldest grandchild turned 5, her first day at school and my other half did not want to miss the...

I have no experience of the rv scene in the USA. Booked our first 6 months camping adventure starting 30 April. But have plenty of experience of outback Australia having travelled over 150.000 km mainly off the bitumen and as a Kiwi have seen more of Australia than the average Australian. The...

What was the one thing you thought you had to have? Such an open ended question. For me? Grandkids. the joy of my life, time to spend with them without any stress and the ability to hand them back. cheers, case

"I would guess the female (the one on the left) will be having a baby in a month or two." Eggs first Tom. This will also answer the question "Which came first" keep us posted. cheers, Case

Following this topic as it has some relevance on our 6 months trip to the USA later this year. "You can boondock on BLM or FS land for free (usually 14 days and then you gotta move at least 25 miles) as well as Wall Mart and casinos occasionally" Question: what is BLM and FS land? not familiar...

Thank you for all the feedback everybody. The hotspot is definitely an issue for use. will make a diary entry for when the time comes. cheers, Case

Went to the Zoo. Only had one animal; a dog. it was a Shih zu!

Thanks Gary. Covers my question perfectly. safe travels, regards, Case

Greetings. We are travelling to the USA end of April for a 6 months period; visiting the Western half of the country on a birding trip. We wish to use our Iphone mobile phone on a pay as you go system with internet access.(Down Under we call it pre pay) Any particular phone company/provider we...

Sounds like me approaching the Missus. Never shouting, keeping calm, making sure my back is covered. Still looking for the right approach after 42 years. cheers, Case

Thanks all for the heads up. The trip is all about the birding for me (Case) slightly obsesses according to my boys. Been involved in birding from a very early age. As a kid i first got introduced to the Red Cardinal in an aviary in Holland owned by our local shoemaker (repairer) More than any...
