On the road

Wednesday was a busy day with Rob dropping the hire car back to LAX airport, getting a shuttle bus back to Anaheim and then riding 30k's (mainly on the Santa Ana bike route) to get the RV. We then threw our belongings into the RV creating chaos and hit the road Thursday am. There was the obligatory trip via Walmart to buy some basics like pillows. Luckily the RV is very well equipped and we don't need to buy much. We also stopped by Jenson USA (bike shop) to buy a bike rack.
Walmart Anaheim, time to leave LA :)


How do you decide where to go first? Easy, find a DMV centre with an appointment the next day. This turned out to be Indio, just near the Joshua Tree NP. The process turned out to be very simple and quick (ten minutes). Just add money (9% transfer fee).There was no chance of going unsupported camping so we are at a campground just south of Indio, nice scenery but noisy at it's next to a highway. It will serve the purpose of allowing us to 'get organised' (Fiona's family mantra).

  1. Good to see you have hit the road! Sounds like you had a great time in LA - your favourite Disneyland rides were also mine when we were there. RV looks great and weather looks awesome too! Avo's are $4 each at woollies so won't be making guacamole any time soon :-) Justine xxx

  2. Hi Wallers, looks like you're off on a great start to your adventure! We're as green as Simi's guac'! Keep posting we'll keep reading - no big news from Crabbe Place - all well. On one administration item - can you please send me the contact details (email or something) for Fi's sister - we were just wanting to get the second key to the Ford Fiesta - and thought we should go through the appropriate channels. Cheers Steve P (ktb@iinet.net.au)

  3. Hi Guys, Just back from the farm and catch up on the Wallers travels. We are sooooo jealous. Great read ! Can't believe Symi hanging off the RV only wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I thought it was winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Keep them coming. Thanks Tony and Karen.
