Woot, managed a successful trip in the caravan this weekend. Towing it wasn't too bad despite the really high winds over the hill we had to climb to get to our destination. Really kicked the car around a bit. Other than that though I managed to make our way there and back without incident including a little wiggle through a car park to get lunch where I took the liberty of taking up half a dozen parking spaces :-) .
When we got to the site everything worked as it should, "camping" like this is much nicer. Power, running water (including hot water) and all the conveniences are a much more enjoyable way to be outdoors than in some crappy little tent like when I was growing up. I think the only downside to all this was the huge drop in petrol mileage the car got. Down from a normal average of 20mpg to a mere 12mpg (10 when we were in the wind). Made filling up a little expensive but still cheap enough.
Wearing a "new" shirt today, it is an old mens shirt of my wife that she used to wear that is now far too big for her. Even on me it is very baggy but incredibly comfortable. My wife has very good taste in clothes.
