Re: The big trip
It's probably one of those auto-change words set up in the forum. Kinda like w.a.s.h.e.d changes to w@$#ed. But we know what you meant.
Merry Christmas to you both. I hope you are enjoying yourselves and have a very happy new year!

Re: The big trip
Hope you are all well and staying out of trouble. We are off to the dealer tomorrow to have the drive wheel hub replaced. The wheel bearings were flopping about. We thought that there was a bushing worn out, but, no bushing there so the hub has to be changed. Then Pferdi will be in the best he has been in years.
We are still in Rome as you will see from Yvonne's blog. https://fyoconnor.wixsite.com/nofixedabode.
It is so much easier to let Yvonne do the writing and me just post a link.
Stay safe in this crazy world. When we can hit the road again (we want to explore Europe) I will start to write. In the meantime I am taking the easy way out.

Re: The big trip
It's got to be exhausting traveling and navigating Europe at this point?
However being stuck in Italy can't be the worst think in the world. Take it easy on the pasta or you'll need heavier-duty shocks.
Happy Safe Travels and New Year to you guys.
