Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Smc I was looking into train trip at the end of the year which darling was interested in but we won't be able afford it now that we are moving. (Darling and children think being in our new home will be like a holiday anyway 😊)

Hoping that by end of next year a road or train trip will be possible. My family did a trip on the now defunct sunlander many years ago and I still remember it well so a train trip would be nice.

Hi @Smc, @Determined, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @outlander, ,

Mr shaz planning a trip somewhere and I know D1 would love us to visit her xx

We're itching for a holiday. All our too-much-travel of late has been out of necessity, not for enjoyment. My dream holiday would be to go on a slow steam train trip interstate. A couple of hours travel, stop for a few hours over lunch, a couple more hours on the rails, overnight stopover, repeat process. I have no idea if such an option actually exists, but oooh it would be wonderful if it did.
Failing that, an absolutely unplanned slow wandery trip in the car, stopping wherever it took our fancy. Maybe with a classy old style caravan in tow to match our little classic car, but if that's taking the dream too far, I'm happy enough with a tent, preferably set up in a national park. Is nice waking up to birdsong.

We did a road trip like that a couple of years ago @Smc following the coast around. We were aiming for Adelaide but ran out of time at Mt Gambier and had to head for home from there. We used to have a classic 1970s caravan which was nice. Did a lot of free camping on our road trips which made it more affordable. The boys still talk about that trip.

Hello @Determined, @Smc, , @Adge@outlander, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope

the cruise is out

Now I am mum's carer

Mr shaz has lots on his mind today , giving him lots of suggestions but no solution

Sorry to hear about the cruise @Shaz51 that would be a blow.

Pitty to miss a cruise @Shaz51, gets difficult to juggle so many medical apts. Its not just x2 people you're caring for but yourself as well. Delegate whatever you can & stay positi e. Hey, noticed you're not tagging me anymore - have i offended you? Dont mean to.

Oh @Shaz51 I do hope you can get a short break away somewhere soon.
