You have had a lot of adventures during your travels. Hopefully, things are a little better now for those with disabilities - too late for you to benefit much from them I guess.

Thanks for coming along yep too late for us now. Glad we did it all when a lot younger and in better shape. Thanks again.

I think you and Louise are so courageous to do all the traveling that you do and have done. I'm so sorry to hear about that horrid host that you had. And what a disappointment that her GGF's gravesite was no longer there!

Yeah the 70's Lord Mayor of Brisbane removed a lot of them. Thanks for coming by; get to you soon.

Interesting to catch up on this post. Not one of your more enjoyable trips. What a horrifying story about your experiences at "Nolan's On The Barwon". As you say - a man in the wrong job.

Thanks for coming by. Yes he should have retired I felt sorry for his wife. I think she covered for him a lot.

I am sorry you had such a bad experience at your first accommodation. You are absolutely right that the owner should not have been in the hospitality industry. I also regret that your sister was a "control freak". Fortunately, your 2013 Queensland trip had some highlights. Smiles- Joan

Enjoyable read. You write with an engaging candour about issues that we all understand, family and family vacations. I also applaud you and your wife for embarking on lengthy road journeys, regardless of disabilities.

Good luck with completing these memoirs.

Blessings Julia

Thanks julia we have not met before I promise to check out your stuff. Just relieved there are some folks still around during Northern Vacation I wrote a Rant about the other day. Where are you by the way?

Greetings Sankey. My home is in the USA, near Washington DC. But I am working in Venezuela at the moment. I recently returned to Fanstory after a 5 yr absence. I will check out your rant :-))

How rude of those people to act the way they did toward you and the wife. I don't blame you, not sure if I would have stayed the night. Turn them into the Better Business B. if you have one in your country. Thanks Sankey. Best to you and the wife.

Hi friend. My wife wrote "Our trip" Book in FS on another account wit which we had all kinds of problems so it is now closed. If you have not figured it out we are both disabled so I am sure if I get to Ghost write my wife's book again you will enjoy it. Thanks again. Cheers.

Hey did you see Tootsie55 account is open again trying to do reviews over there to build up some funny money. Cost me a lot in Aus$ to get the account up for an other year over there.

I really enjoy reading about the family vacations. We've all had them and many things are similar, completely different. It's fun to read.

Very interesting travels, Sankey. I know what you mean about traveling as you get older. My husband and I haven't done much traveling lately. My back problems are a hindrance to me. Great account of your disappointing stay at Leisure World Motel. What happened to the idea of hospitality? How unfortunate that the gravesite Louise wanted to see had been ripped out. Sounds rather insensitive. Your account is interesting and colorful, and it reads just like you were telling your story to someone in person. judi

Thanks for coming by. have a feeling the rewards had gone. I knew I had to add this chapter. Hopefully that's it now!

reply by judiverse on 24-Sep-2016

You're welcome. I didn't check on the pay-out. Interesting stories of your travels. judi

reply by the author on 24-Sep-2016

Thanks I actually held back on a lot of our travels as Louise wanted to write about them in her book if you remember "Our Trips" on her account we had on here. Now gone. We did not get a fair go on that. Long story if I have not told you before.

reply by judiverse on 24-Sep-2016

You're welcome. I'm often disappointed by the small number of reviews I get. judi

Interesting commentary that, sad to say Americans know very little about. The Beeges, Olivia Newton John, Nichole Kidman and Kieth Urban about sums up our knowledge of your country.

Hi Thomas that is so typical. Yet in the opposite we are regularly served up all the news on Uncle Sam. I stuffed up there was supposed to be a book balloon on the whole book but I must have accidentally activated the three day thing on this new chapter only. I appreciate you coming by.
