Hi everyone :-D
« on: February 10, 2012, 05:43:39 PM »
Just want to say a hello to everyone. I've already posted a few comments and thought I'd better introduce ourselves.

We are wannabe grey nomades, but have to wait a few more years (and the last baby to leave the nest) for that to be a reality.

We have had few tents, campers over the years. Now we have a 2nd hand Ezy trailer. Ron is in the process of revamping and adding a few mods before we can head out. It's been a pretty big job but are getting close. We also recently bought a 2nd hand Isuzu DMax twin cab which Ron is also putting in 2nd hand (gotta love 2nd hand lol) Outback drawers in.

We live in sunny Queensland and I love this forum!

Ron and Ellen.  :D

Welcome to Myswag.  There is nothing wrong with 2nd hand - a term I prefer to use is pre-loved!

Hi Ron & Ellen, welcome to My Swag.
Already done a few posts so looks like you have worked the system out.
The grey nomad life is pretty good, keep the planning going.

Welcome to Myswag Ellen & Ron from another pair of Queenslanders.
We are wannabe grey nomads too, but also have a few years yet to wait.
In a couple of months we are going to have a good practice run - 5 months off work - off to Broome and back. WooHoo!
Enjoy your time on the site, though it sounds like you know your way around already.
Cheers

G'day & Welcome folks.

Easy way to save, my camper was second hand, and so much of the fruit on my Cruiser came from eBay.
