What's in a name?

From what we can tell on the CMCA (Camping and Motorhome Club of Australia) forum, everyone has a name for their camping/motorhome vehicle. We've decided to call ours The Manna House, manna being the 'bread from heaven' that God gave the Israelites to eat while they were wandering around in the desert for 40 years. The motorhome we'll be living in and the opportunity to take this trip to see the amazing and varied landscapes of Australia is a provision from God that we are very grateful for. We also have the nickname 'Len' for our rather tall van, in honor of the one and only Pa. When he used to get into the car he would often bump his head, so it became his habit to deliberately announce 'mind your head Len' as he endevoured to enter the car without injury. We think 'MIND YOUR HEAD LEN' will become a deeply ingrained part of our driving strategy as our 3.5m Manna House endeavours to traverse the countryside without losing its top. And praying like mad, as apart from the obvious inconvenience, it will be my bed and socks and undies that will be scattered far and wide in the event of such a disaster, may it not be so!!!

Please feel free to tune in to this blog at your leisure to follow our progress through NSW, Vic and SA over the next 6 months. Only 2 more sleeps until we head for our first stop Mittagong to visit Vicki's cousin Ursula.
