One week to go.. not even

After all this time waiting, we are leaving on our Cape York trip in 4 days!!!  We've had a few get togethers with Skye & Swifty, the other couple who are going with us - making lists, working on the trucks, trying to decide how much chocolate will get us through.. and the boys making up stories that Skye and I will be on a sugar high (or slighty tipsy) when they come back from fishing.  Skye and I are more realistic of course, and think we'll have made sculptures out of the trees around us and be quite crafty... or we may just be sitting around in our comfy camp chairs :)

Aaron has been working around the clock to get everything done - with a bit of stress added in for good measure of course.  We've still got a few bits and pieces to go.. he's out at the moment for a last dash to get better springs in the truck.. we just loaded all our food - hehe.  While we were packing, he looks at me in all seriousness and says 'so how much cooking do you think you'll actually do???' .. I just smiled and packed some more flour :)

The drawers that Aaron's made are great.. very impressive (will post photos soon).  Lots of storage compartments .. although you can never have enough.. well in my opinion anyway.  We were originally going to use our double mattress that we had in the house, but after a few trial runs, it was decided that it was a bit too high, and heavy.  So we made the mission to Anaconda and Ikea yesterday, and now have a very comfy set up at a smidgen of the weight and width.

Making the drawers - giving them a nice sand.  This is prior to the roof rack being put back on

With the roof racks on - lookin' good!!

Now that the roof racks are on, Aaron hasn't stopped looking at it, each time saying 'How good does it look?!  It looks like such a truck now!'  I think I've been cast aside for a truck!!!
