The absolute best thing that happened this week is that we are now booked to speak at Caravan Stockholm 2018. It will really be so fun! Also, we got a refund on a deal we had completely given up on, and we are preparing the 5-course dinner for the weekend. Happy Friday!

Caravan Stockholm 2018
Caravan Stockholm is the fair for those who are thinking of buying a motorhome or caravan, who want to find new accessories or get inspiration for exciting travel destinations. Every year, more than 70 exhibitors take place at Stockholmsmässan in Kista, along with speakers and entertainers. The next fair will be held from Thursday to Sunday 15-18 February.
We lecture at the destination square
It is now clear that we will be speaking at Caravan Stockholm 2018. Very Fun! On Friday we will talk about motorhome travel in France and Croatia and on Saturday about motorhome travel in Poland and the Czech Republic. In addition, we will have a stand where we gather information and inspiration about these four destinations.
The big news at this year's fair is the so-called 'Destination Square'. Here visitors can get travel inspiration from travellers and experts, both on stage and in stands. We like this idea and it will suit us perfectly to both lecture and have our stand at the Destination Square.
News at the fair
Plenty of exhibitors are already booked, from motorhome manufacturers to ferry lines. For example, McLouis will be showing several new models with nursery solutions and Eura Mobil is making a comeback with the new Integra range, but now more luxurious than before.
The Motorhome School will also return, for those who want to ask questions on everything from driving licences to technical issues. There will also be performances and entertainment. Already booked are Lotta Engberg and comedian Tobias Persson. Are you planning to attend the fair?
More positive this week
Last week we told you that we did not receive any compensation from Motormännen for the failure of the motorhome after cable fire on the motorway. In 2015, Peter ordered and paid for a drone that was not yet fully developed from an American company.
Production was postponed and postponed, and eventually the company went bankrupt. We never dared to believe that we would get our money back, but this week it happened. We got the full amount back!
Otherwise, Peter is busy planning Saturday's 5-course dinner. We will have Peter's son Robin and his wife Alexandra, as well as Robin's former boss Feyo from Taracci and his wife for dinner. We look forward to that! What has been the best part of your week?

All money that falls in is welcome and extra fun when you do not expect it... Fun with a "Destination Square" where it will probably be well visited. We ourselves are going to the Christmas market tomorrow 🙂.

Helena says:
We think the idea of destination squares is a good one! There is often so much focus on new cars. You can't always buy a new motorhome, but you want to travel with it every year! 🙂

Lena - good for the soul says:
Wow! It sounds amazing that you got money back in such a situation! Good for you!
Yes, what has been positive during the week for me? It must be the whole week's feeling, feeling bubbly and feeling good!
Have a nice Friday!

We wouldn't have had much to object to if we didn't get money back... Nice that some things in the world actually work! 🙂 Wishing you a bubbly and nice weekend!!!

How nice. Then I try to come if I am free! Do not have my schedule so far yet. hugs to nice weekend

We will return with info when it gets closer! 🙂

Solan says:
Saw the puff for the fair...The right forum for you. Would have been fun to see you live on stage! ?
But our rolling "winter storage" will be home sometime in April...?
08 December 2017 - 8:26
Helena says:
Yes, this fair is really the right forum for us! It will be fun to participate and especially fun when they focus on travel destinations. It does not sound stupid with your rolling "winter storage"! 🙂 Where are you now?

Mr Steve says:
So happy for you with both the lecture and the drone money back. You are so well worth it.
Tasty 5-course meal!
The best thing that happened this week is that the Christmas presents for the children and grandchildren have been bought.
08 December 2017 - 9:16
Helena says:
Thank you very much Steve! It's good to be on land with the Christmas presents! We haven't started thinking about that yet... but may have to start soon 😉 .
08 December 2017 - 20:03
Alexandra says:
Actually, I haven't even thought about that fair yet.... but maybe you should pay a visit! Especially now that you will be there and lecture. 😉
This week has rolled on so crazy fast. Do not know where all the days have gone haha! But the most cozy was probably to go to the "dream clients event" with my business coach and just get cosy and talk to some other entrepreneurs 🙂

Helena says:
Great if you come to the fair! It is smaller than Elmia, but on the other hand it is well located. Sounds like an exciting and inspiring event you have been to! 🙂 Nice weekend!

Ditte says:
It's great that you have been invited to speak at the fair. Unfortunately, I will probably not be home then, but if I am, I will gladly come and listen.
Getting money back when you don't expect it is definitely positive. Especially if the whole thing has fallen apart because time has passed.
My week has been enormously rich in content, including the work trip to Värmland with a lot of nice things and fun destinations and experiences. Meeting daughters and grandchildren during the week has also been a highlight.
08 December 2017 - 10:13
Helena says:
The trip to Värmland seems to have been very exciting and interesting!!!!

Nils-Åke says:
It's good that the money is working out. I myself am waiting for packages from Germany that should have been here. Now there will be a Christmas market at Fredriksdal here in Helsingborg.
08 December 2017 - 10:23
Helena says:
Hope the parcel arrives soon and that it will be a good Christmas market! Have a nice weekend!

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
The fair and especially the destination square sounds very nice and we have booked a Stockholm weekend a few weeks earlier!?!!? It will be something to think about, because some extra info about Croatia would not be wrong.
I don't know where this week has gone, but now a quiet weekend awaits with some preparations for next weekend's Christmas celebrations with my children and grandchildren.
Five courses doesn't sound bad.....
08 December 2017 - 13:26
Helena says:
Would be fun if you could come, but full understanding if it does not fit because you are going to Stockholm another weekend! Wishing you a really nice weekend!

BP says:
In other words, a successful week! It's great that you are lecturing at the fair again. It's also fun to have a destination square, where you can exchange information and experiences with other motorhome enthusiasts. We usually visit the fair and I have just clicked the tickets home.
Congratulations on the unexpected money for the drone! Really a positive surprise considering the company went bankrupt. I like to get money that I didn't expect;-)
Good luck with the dinner:-)
PS. Illuminated, the moose on Plattan look much more fun than in daylight:-) DS.

Helena says:
How nice that you come to the fair! Then I hope to see you!!! Yes, we do not know how it works in the US when a company goes bankrupt and would not have had much to oppose if we had not received money. So we are very happy that we got everything back!

Cathinka - On the move! says:
Great with the refund, didn't you buy another drone instead? A little hungry... Couldn't you write the ultimate Christmas gift wish list for new motorhome owners?!
08 December 2017 - 17:58
Helena says:
Yes, Peter has bought another drone instead, the DJI Mavic Pro. He's happy with it, although it took some time to learn everything (especially since we can't fly it at home, we live near an airport). The ultimate Christmas wish list ... oh interesting idea! I'll have to think about that one 😉 .

Role o Carina says:
Nice picture of the "header" water always attracts us to stand by! 🙂
What fun that you are going to the fair, we have never been there!
We are probably aiming for Elmia, it's been a long time since we were there.
Happy Holidays......
08 December 2017 - 18:01
Helena says:
The header is from the Czech Republic, one of the countries we plan to talk about at the fair. Elmia is a bigger fair, of course.

Matts Torebring says:
How exciting to be able to talk about what you love. In my case, I can't say that money is flowing in, on the contrary. I've just contributed a large sum of money to the thirteen billion that we "pensioners" pay extra, more than ordinary people, as a penalty for working. But there is no need for me to do so.
08 December 2017 - 18:46
Helena says:
I don't really know the system Matts, but the way you describe it sounds very unfair ...! Anyway, I wish you a nice weekend!

Annar says:
The best thing this week is all the outdoor swimming and hot baths, meetings with the wife's family. The best part is going out to eat in the morning. You will get a review tomorrow evening. Good luck with the cooking!

How wonderful it sounds! Liiite avis on your Icelandic stay! Looking forward to the review! 🙂
