Just booked a week at the Coolum Caravan Park starting next Saturday so a week to prepare.

Some of our family will be up there so catching up.

Of course premium price being school holidays. Roll Eyes

So we are off again.

Home for the next six nights at Coolum beach Caravan Park.

Was a long day on the road with traffic. What should have been two hours ended up four and a half hours with traffic just crawling along.

Very busy up here.

Hi Derek
Have a great holiday.
it has been at least 25 years since Lesley and I stayed at that caravan park. WE were members of the Jayco caravan club then.
well done seeking out a fish and chip shop for your dinner
