Some grey nomads choose to sell the house and hit the road for as long as their old bodies will hold out. Others like ourselves choose to have a little bolt hole somewhere to call home and return to from time to time. Somewhere with no lawns to mow and small easily maintained gardens. For those like us in the southern states the summer time is certainly the best time to be enjoyed close to home.
When we’re I find that by the three month mark home starts to call. My brain begins to suffer from sightseeing overload. Please! No more stunning sunsets, expansive views, deserted beaches with perfect surf and posing kangaroos. Give me my ‘big’ bed, a dose of the boring and mundane…oh and a large steaming bowl of whatever multicultural Melbourne can dish up!
That sounds a perfect formula.

Like anything it can be simply a case of too much of a good thing. Need to not have it for awhile to appreciate it.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. A friend rang from Perth last week exhausted from the sights, four months on the road and a hubby with white line fever and can’t stop driving!

OMG, well let me tell you, our friends were similar. We were supposed to go with them, thank God we didn’t. They scooted up to the Top End, doing the Red Centre in about 3 days, then down the west coast and then from Perth they did the Nullabor back to Melbourne in four days. Total ten weeks away. They were supposed to be gone three months but just rushed everything. Then they got news and had to get home for a funeral so they hot footed it from Perth. He did ALL the driving. The last few days he was driving 10 hour days. Now apparently he’s having anxiety and panic attacks. No fun hey?

I can understand when people have to get back to work but if you’ve got 3 months off then it’s time to chill. How lucky were you though!!

All the same, that is a stunning view, and those kangaroos set it off perfectly! 😄

This approach is much better and keeps one sane.
