Travel & Product Tips

Handling sickness is a very situational thing at home, with everything within our reach such as doctor, pharmacy, worst case, even the hospital, it is much easier. But what if you are out there on a camping trip and you fall sick? Getting sick is the worst thing that could happen to on a camping trip. With no readily available help, it could be a little difficult to handle camping sickness.

But what if you are out there on a camping trip and you fall sick? It is an altogether different ball game, despite the severity level (if it is low) of the sickness.

Here are a few tips to counter sickness while you are on a camping trip:

Carrying Electrolyte

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in water. In other words, it carries some important salts that are helpful in re-hydrating your body. In case you are dehydrated while camping in summers or simply get diarrhoea or intoxicated, an electrolyte is a saviour.

Pills

Your first aid box might have antiseptic creams, lotions, bandages but it is yet not complete. Having at hand, meds such for nausea, headache, stomach ache pills helps relieve you from the general medical conditions.

Stay Warm

Even if you are not camping in winters, carrying all that stuff which keeps you warm is not at all a bad idea. And why is that? In case, you catch a fever, a blanket or a sleeping bag would be the best thing to keep you warm. Spare a blanket or a cosy sleeping bag on every camping trip.

Drinkable Water

Water is the base of every disease as it is very easily contaminable. Carry as much drinking water as you can and in case you can’t go beyond a point, make sure to buy water while on the way. Do not experiment with any water available on a camping site such as a pond or a waterfall, which might not be drinkable and may have the potential to make you sick while camping.

Contact Details

In case you are not in a large group or you are relatively in a secluded region you do not have to worry about the surroundings. Get the contact details of local police or park rangers, it can be very useful in case of a medical emergency.

Next time you plan a camping trip, just remember prevention is better than cure.

Ever thought of taking along kids on a camping trip? Well, to many of us family or friends pop up in the mind when we talk about camping company. But there are a lot of us who have small kids and the first thing that pops up (even when they hear about a plan as trivial as going to a movie) is “the kids!” (and the thought is accompanied not by excitement but with apprehension, obviously). Well, this angst makes us say no to camping with kids, as it is a heck of a job dealing with their sleep issues on a camping trip which could be close to an ordeal.

 
Although, camping is something your kids would enjoy like anything accompanied with learning and great memories. Camping is possible with kids and kids are possible with camping. Wondering how? Here are 7 amazing tips that could get your kids sleep on time on a camping trip:

1. Early start-

Early to rise is a good thing in general but on a camping trip it is just great as it would your kids to sleep on time in the night. The simple science behind this is, the time of our sleep depends on the time we got up in the morning, as our brain needs a mandatory rest after a period of time.

2. Deploy the energy-

Have a keen look at the energy levels of kids and adults. You would find kids have a lot more energy than the adults and they keep going with it. This is the right time to deploy all that energy. Engage your kids in physical activities and by the end of the day, they will get much tired to hit the sack.

3. Minimal daytime rest while travelling-

Travelling in a moving vehicle can be really boring and even can put adults to sleep. Kids would generally sleep on the back seat or else where in the camper if they are not engaged, eventually keeping them wide awake when the night falls. You could let them take rest for a while travelling, but not for too long. Turn on the music is a great option to keep them rocking.

4. Set up soon-

Another great way to engage your kids is to get them involved in setting up the tent. But for that, you need to reach the site on time. Getting late in setting up can make the kids cranky as they are already exhausted. In case the destination is not close, you can break the journey into parts, thereby letting the kids enjoy the breaks.

5. Silence please-

If there are kids, there has to be noise. But it is important to control the noise as the sensory overload would make it difficult to get them to sleep. Engage your kids in silent activities like playing cards, reading books, writing an essay on the day, fishing etc.

6. Time to hit the sack-

It is more important to set the time to g to bed on a camping trip than on usual days. Kids would love to stretch the sleeping time as they know there is no school next day. Make sure they go to bed on time keeping their sleep pattern intact.

7. Comfortable sleeping-

One strong reason the kids get cranky on a trip uncomfortable sleeping. Get the cosiest stuff for your kids on a camping trip, after all after the hard day long, they deserve a snuggly sleep.
Next time you plan a camping trip, do not hesitate to bring along the kids.

Life could be divided into ages, not numeric but periods. Every age (a period of time) has its own speciality, making each patch of time distinct from others. Although, this exclusivity is important, there are few things which can not be bound by age (and this unbounding is important with certain things in order to enjoy life to the fullest).

One such thing is camping. It is widely perceived that camping is made for young people as it is mostly done by them. But it is a myth. According to research, there is a rise of 4% in the age group of 65 plus who are going camping, and this number would keep growing. Times are already changing and you need to be a part of it, with thought read the below camping tips for seniors and set out on a camping trip:

Choose Easier Terrains

Although you shouldn’t be less excited than any age group, still there are certain things that age slowly takes away from you. No matter how strong-willed you are, at this age, the physical rigor fades away. Anyway, that is not to dissuade you, rather just to tell you should choose easier terrains as the difficult landscape would take a toll on you.

Abundant Food and Water

This advice is generic advice and is given to everyone who is planning a camping trip. Yet advising seniors about carrying sufficient food and water has its own importance. It is relatively easier for young people to gather food and water in case of a shortage, being seniors it becomes difficult to do that. Carry slightly more than enough food with you which would always keep you loaded.

 

Safety Kit and Medication

Carrying a safety kit are another generic advice, but once again it holds more importance for seniors. Age reduces the immunity of the body but you don’t need to carry the whole dispensary with you but make sure the right things are there. Remember to take along any medication you are on along with the safety kit.

Stay Warm

Staying warm becomes extremely important in winters and at times nightly essential in summers as temperature drops in open fields. Well, cold can be bad for any age group, still staying warm becomes imperative for seniors. Take along blankets/quilts and if you want to be on a safer side you could carry insulation blankets. Do not exhaust yourself in tiring activities like cutting woods for a bonfire.

Senior Passes

Nothing could be more amazing than enjoying the state benefits for seniors. Not only the state gives many benefits to seniors in general, but also provide subsidized tickets on the entry in national parks. Even camping shows and other campsites give subsidized entries. If nothing else, this could surely make you all up for a camping trip.

Remember age is just a number, you are young if you are young at heart. Plan your camping trip now.

From the early men to the homo sapiens, we have always tried to be self-sufficient. And the urge of being self-sufficient has always heightened with the evolution. Being at any point of time in life, be it as regular as our daily routine or as unusual as a war, we collect and store things to be self-supporting. Somewhere between the daily regimen and war is one of the activities done for leisure and travel and it is camping.

A camping trip is not as usual as a daily routine and not as threatening as a war, still, it requires to be a little more self-sufficient. Here is the list of things which are strictly in the order of need to make your camping trip self-sufficient:

Food

Food is the most important thing for our survival and it becomes more important when you are on a camping trip. Carry ready to eat as well as ready to cook food with cooking, heating and refrigerating appliances.

Drinking-Water

The next most important thing is water. We may have abundant water or readily available water at our homes but on camping, trip water becomes a luxury. There is a wide range of options to carry water on a camping trip, depending on how resourceful your trip is like- jerry cans, water bottles, water bladders, water tanks, RO (Reverse Osmosis) units and filtering systems.

Protection

Protection or shelter is also one of the natural and basic requirements to survive. A camping trip has to be fully equipped to meet the needs of protection from the elements and other harmful things of nature. Get best quality awnings and tents that would be just as good as a roof on the head making you protected.

Heat

You would carry stoves and other gas appliances to heat your food but there is something more important to be kept warm on a camping trip and that is you. After night falls, the temperature drops especially when you are in an open field or probably you are more adventurous than an average person and plan a camping trip in winters. You need to carry everything that keeps you warm like sleeping bags and thermal blanket without compromising on the quality.

Ablution

Ablutions are a natural part of our lives and we may survive without bathing but answering the nature’s call is as important as any other thing to survive. Although there are public toilets available in national park sites, the best way is to carry portable toilets along. They are hassle-free and readily available anywhere anytime. If the trip is long it becomes important to take a bath. You can keep the very basic things like a bucket and flannel or if you wish to a little luxurious, you can get solar shower bags.

Power to Lighten Up

Camping trips are not only about the day time fun. Nights give you a completely different perspective and all you need is to lighten up the darkness around. Headlamps, LEDs, lanterns are some cheap options that are good enough to throw some light. There are other off-grid options to electrify your camping trip like solar panels.

Remember to carry the 6 things mentioned above next time you plan a camping trip and you would be all self-sufficient without a regret.

Going on a camping trip is when you take time off your busy schedule and want to relax all through the time. Although relaxing the whole time could not be the only thing you would do because there is something more important than that, and it is food. Wherever you go in the world you can’t live without food and when you are on something like a camping trip you can’t be pardoned from cooking as you are not in a restaurant. While camping you need many  camping gadgets to make the most out of your trip and to cook, you need the whole kitchen with dishes, cutlery, paper rolls, plastic boxes, eatables and what not. Imagine all these things scattered around on a camping trip, that would be the worst nightmare.

Well, to save you from the mess the hassle-free answer is a camping pantry. A camping pantry would save you time and energy thus spending more time enjoying. Before you buy a camping pantry consider the following points:

1. Easy- Carrying something like a camping pantry could be a real hassle and so the makers today design them to knock down. Although knock-down pantries are available in a great variety, picking the right one could be a difficult job. Choose your camping pantry considering it is foldable and how easy it is to assemble, you don’t want to keep assembling a camping pantry all through the trip.

2. Compact- Remember you are planning a camping trip and not moving to a new house and that is why you need a pantry that folds maximum. Although it becomes difficult to choose such a pantry as the more a pantry folds, the more moving parts it has and in turn making it vulnerable to twist or fall. On the other hand, a pantry which doesn’t fold much, comes with lesser moving parts. Choosing the compactness completely depends on your requirement.

3. Strength- Although the points are not prioritized, strength comes third. You have a lot of stuff on your camping trip and you don’t want your camping pantry to fall off or twist making matters worse. Choose for a pantry which has fewer hinges and knuckles and is more solid. A pantry should be erect even after all the food and stuff is loaded onto it.

4. Weight- Bearing in the middle- Next important factor to consider before buying a camping pantry is how is the weight bearing in the middle. Many times the mid shelf is precarious and loses the ground on putting items like boxes, tins and bottles. You could check the weight-bearing capacity of the pantry by loading the middle shelf/shelves with stuff.

A camping pantry is a must for all your trips irrespective of the duration of the camping trip. Buy one before you plan to hit the road.

There is nothing more exciting than deviating from the normal course, making life more adventurous. Detours should be as much part of life as the straight ways. Well, that is perfectly right for life in general as well as the other stuff we do. One such thing is camping. To keep the camping spirit up and alive, at times it is important to add some thrill and make it an escapade. Camping on the plain road always (irrespective of the places you go) can become so boring beyond a point that you might think of quitting it. The best way to do it is going offroad! But there are some vital things that need to be kept in mind before hitting the treacherous terrain and here they are:

Speed

Plain roads intimidate to speed up, in fact, they are made to run. On the flip side on a rough topography, it is more important to be steadier than speedy. Off roads are bumpy as there are rocks of all shape and sizes that have a great potential to damage your tyres and suspension.

Hairpin Bend

There is a scientific equation between a turn and the length of the vehicle: longer the vehicle, harder to turn. The situation worsens when the degree of the turn is less than 90 degrees and you are on a rough road. To turn on a hairpin bend, make sure you have a longer arch creating more space to turn the camper smoothly.

Gear

You are towing a massive coach coupled to your caravan on a rough terrain and shifting gears is not an option on an uphill road as you would lose a great momentum. So, it becomes very important to drive in the right gear. Stick to one gear is the best thing to do.

Dead End

Off roads are not planned and that is why they are incongruous. Meeting with a dead end could be one such oddity you may encounter. Well, the solution is simple- avoid such routes by checking a suspecting dead end on foot. You don’t want to back an 18 feet camper!

Your Vehicle

Do not overestimate the capabilities of your vehicle, you might end up in a trench or hit hard on the belly of your camper. Make a note of dimensions of your vehicle like- ground clearance, width, length, weight etc before taking a brave chance that may turn out to be stupid.

Don’t be deterred from taking an off road camping trip if you just heard someone broke down bad while on it. Instead, keep the above tips in mind and set an example of an astonishing off road outing for others to pursue.

Although there are 4 major seasons, yet summer and winter are two of the most significant seasons. They are like day and night which have their own pièce de résistance. Just like different attributes, winter and summer have different requirements. The world can be divided into 2 sides-
On one- People who love Summers
On the other- People who love winters.

If you are considering winters to plan your camping trip, you are surely a winter lover. But as every coin has 2 sides, there are pros and cons to camping in winters. As a winter lover you may ignore the cons and as a summer lover, you might only read the cons, well, whichever side you consider both before planning it out.
Here are the Pros and Cons to camping in the winter season:

Yay Winters!

Campfire

Campfire is one the greatest reasons of camping in winters. Nothing could beat the experience of the warmth of a campfire in the chilling night somewhere out in the wilderness.

Eating Extra

Food is fuel to the body and apart from providing the energy it keeps us warm. You need to be warmer in winter days and that allows you to eat extra on a camping trip.

Less Crowd

Winters is the time when everyone prefers to stay back at home and warm themselves up sitting by the fireplace sipping rum, making the campsites less occupied, and you would find some solitary space.

Accommodation Cost

If you have planned to stay at a paid campsite, you would get cheaper arrangements as mentioned- it will be less crowded making winter off peak for camping.

Fewer Insects

Just like many beings, insects can’t survive the harshness of winters and all the others who manage to survive go in a hibernation sort of a thing, making your camping trip bug-free.

Cool Insides

If you decide to take a break and come back to the camper to lie down, you would get a much cooler surrounding inside as compared to the summers when the caravan heats like an oven and bakes you up.

All That Impedimenta

Winters give you a chance to get fully equipped with- a sleeping bag, thermal gear etc. Bet you can’t get all that on a summer camping trip and that makes a winter camping trip way cooler.

Swanky

The harshness makes winters more brag-worthy than summers. Surviving in the cold, sleeping in the bags, keep oneself warm will get you brownie points as a storyteller.

Nay Winters!

Too Cold

The one reason that would always be relative is the temperature in the winters. A summer lover would always find it too cold and would not just step out. Although winters could severely be cold and might switch you off it also adds more challenges as compared to any other time of the year.

Stick Around the Campfire

Campfires are enjoyable in winters but could be something that you would never want to quit. Winters force us to keep ourselves warm and we may end up doing nothing but to cling to it.

Too Much Baggage

Being all geared-up is awesome but also there is a flip side to it which is not that pleasant. Getting so many things on would weigh it down making it a great hassle. And perhaps you do not want to carry “baggage” on a camping trip.

Rains

Winters are prone to rains and if it rains, it will ruin for the worse. A downpour would not only put out the heat in the campfire but also would drop the temperature further, making it unbearably freezing.
Well going by the numbers, winters outrun summers as the preferred camping season, yet we can’t always go by numbers. Giving a verdict is difficult and so leaving it on campers to decide is the best choice.

Going on a camping trip on the weekend or hitting for a week-long caravanning tour, awnings are a must to carry. Apart from attaching to your camper and making a temporary dwelling, awnings are used for an altogether different motive also- commercial purpose. Commercial awnings are quite different from caravanning awnings and make a good commercial, let us see how:

Promotion

You have a store and you are considering different options for signage. What could be better than an awning for it? You could get an awning printed with your store name and logo. The protruding awning always gives a greater visibility. Business awnings come in different shapes and sizes and you could get a 3-sided awning on which you get your store name on all the three sides.

Shelter

It is what awnings are meant for. But not only awnings give shelter on camping trips they are of great commercial utility also.If you have a cafe or a bakery or simply a restaurant and you want to add a couple of tables outside, get an awning attached to the frontage. In case it is raining out or is misty, people would find shelter in your awning and they would read your window signs up close.

Catchy

Another great aspect of an awning is- it is catchy. It is difficult to focus on all shops while driving on a street but an awning in the street catches your eyes faster than anything else. And that helps your store get identified.

Lighted Awnings

Your store runs till 10 in the night and no business can afford not to glow in the dark. Just like other signages, commercial awnings could also be lighted up. Lighting up an awning could save you the cost of an exclusive backlit board.

Clean Space

A commercial awning helps in keeping the sheltered space of your business premise from getting wet from rains or clean from a snowfall. That way it also protects the facade of your store which might get damaged otherwise.

Saves Power Cost

A commercial awning helps in keeping your business place insulated. If you have awnings installed across your store facade like on windows and doors, it will keep the inside cool which would eventually save your cost on cooling the place. An awning would save your products on display and interior from getting sun-damaged. Getting used awnings for your business could save your cost further.

A commercial awning has multiple benefits for your business so why delay? Book your commercial awning from Australia Wide Annexes.

Doing it yourself has its own benefits. You could save a lot of money with the practice and apart from that you get to learn a lot about the stuff you are installing and a great general insight on installing things. Awning could be one of those things that you want to learn to install. You could attach an awning to your caravan or simply want to mount it on a wall at your home. With that comes the issues that you may face installing an awning.

Well, whatever the case may be, you should be well acquainted with the common issues of awning installation and that could be done by following a few steps:

Cracking Noise

You may hear cracking noise when you retract an awning. There can be several reasons to that noise:

Make sure that the awning brackets are completely tightened on the wall. While mounting them on the wall you might have missed screwing the bolts well.

Another reason that makes the squealing sound could be- the square torsion bar is not well seated on the mounting brackets. The misaligned seating creates a gap resulting into colliding of the torsion bar and the mounting brackets when you open or retract the awning.

Make sure the arms of the awning are tightly bolted to the roller tube. The loose bolts could be another reason of the cracking noise.

Winds

Strong winds could beat up the awning. If the winds turn turbulent, they might uproot the fiber of the awning. Avoid parking your caravan or camper in a windy area or if at home, retract the awning before the winds turn strong.

Motor

Motorized awnings are a great option and save a lot of energy but an electric motor has more chances to malfunction if not operated carefully. Very frequent retractions on a single use could temporarily shut down the motor. Let the motor cool down for some time. Also if you use cheap motors to save money, you might have to shell out money more frequently as cheap motors tend to go bad every now and then.

Apart from these, there are things to be taken care of while using an awning-

The fabric of an awning is made of canvas generally. Clean the fiber intermittently, it could save it from mildew deposit and subsequent issues.

Do not overextend the shoulders of the awning, it will sag the canvas and you would need to replace it. Generally, the fiber is not covered under warranty.

Hanging plants or other items on the front bar could collapse the awning. Avoid doing any of that.

Considering all the above points you could install an awning in a hassle-free way and save on caravan awning repairs.

If you are planning camping in winters, it is going to be an adventure. Although surviving the chilly winters is more than an adventure in itself. Is it an exaggeration to say it becomes a survival mission? We don’t think so.

 

We all wait for that cold season of the year when we snuggle and enjoy hot coffees dug in our beds and that season is- Winters. Winters could be as harsh as they sound exciting, especially when you are on a camping trip, away from the warmth of your home. But a winter camping trip could be the best experience of your life. Here are a few tips for camping in winters that would make it a joy ride:

Get the Right Sleeping Bags

Sleeping bags are the heart of camping trips. Without them, a night’s sleep would be almost impossible. Winters make it more difficult, as you need to choose the right kind of a sleeping bag. A wrong choice and you would freeze to an ice cream bar. Picking a sleeping bag is not that difficult. You simply have to check out the ratings. Is it that easy? No, it is not! Wondering why? A sleeping bag rated 0 degrees might not be sufficiently warm when the temperature hits 0 and you might still be feeling cold. The idea is to pick the one which is rated for a chillier place than you have planned for, say -10 degrees. It will give you a warm margin of 10 degrees.

What to Wear

Choosing the right clothes is as important as choosing the right sleeping bag. Don’t go light inside like a t-shirt or so, it will surely make you cold. Wear everything that could insulate you like- thermals, wool, synthetics. You can add layers on the top obviously, but staying warmer inside is crucial.

Familiar With Your Body

Just like every personality differs, every ‘body’ is also different. There could be various factors like- age, gender, metabolism, body fat etc. that differentiate bodies. You should be familiar with your body, knowing general things like- how prone you are to cold, what makes your body warmer, what ailments your body could pick in certain conditions etc.

Take Advantage of the Analogy of the Body

Just like our cars and other devices need a power source or fuel to run, the human body also needs a charge to fire up. This charge is the food we eat. Eat a lot of food on winter camping trips, preferably fatty food. As fat burns slowly generating the heat required to keep you warm. It is exactly what a polar bear does to survive the winters.

Don’t Duck in the Sleeping Bag

It becomes very tempting to duck inside the sleeping bag when it is chilling out there. But that would only shoot up the moisture level in the sleeping bag, failing it to do what it does. In fact, keep your sleeping bag as dry as possible, it will keep your warmer.

Hot Bottles

In chilling winters you would probably not avoid a campfire, in fact, you would plan one. You could stay around the campfire to keep yourself warm, but that would work till you are around. Although you could store the warmth of the campfire. Boil good amount of water that could fill up your water bottles and sneak them inside your sleeping bag. Tell me- That is the best feeling you get! Just make sure you have the best quality bottles which would not leak or else it would lead to a night ordeal.

Camping in winters is not as bad as you think. All you need is to prep up and know a few hacks that would help you beat the chill.

 

Vacations and holidaying could be heavy on the pocket and may disrupt your savings. If you are considering a budget camping instead, you have got the sweet spot.

 Well, you could be lucky if your family settled for the trade-off and if you know how to save the big bucks. If that is not the case, just follow these amazing tips for budget camping:

Free Sites

A paid camping site would surely burn a hole in your pocket and the first thing you could do to fence your expense on a camping trip is to search for free camping sites. A free camping site might sound like a teardown option but you could get it all geared up- power (solar panels) and water (camp showers), with no money as compared to a paid site. A free site might save the cost of travelling (fuel) as well in case the paid sites are far away.

Travel Light

Another best way to save on a camping trip is travelling as light as possible. You don’t intend to make a home away from home. Remember you are on a camping trip, you just need all the stuff that would “aid you on a camping trip” and not help you “survive the mission”. If you are travelling along with a couple of friends or families, travelling light could come naturally. Sharing things could avoid doubling up.

Supplies

Buying food at the food counters on a camping trip is something you can’t avoid. But you could cut down a fortune on that. Get loaded with loads of food when you set on the journey. Just make sure the quantity is right enough to sustain through the trip. The best thing you could do at free camping sites is- firing up your own campfire and that could not only heat you up but give you a couple of fresh and hot meals as well.

Camper Cost

The biggest part of the camping trip cost could be the cost of the camper. If you are renting a camper, consider budget vehicles which could fit your trip requirement rather than a sky-high option. Camping along with friends gives a great opportunity to save on vehicle cost by sharing it. You could save a fortune getting your vehicle serviced before setting the sail, it would really help you save a lot later on a breakdown.

Camping trips could fit in your budget without cutting down on the fun part, you just need to be a little smarter while planning it. For more such useful and amazing tips on camping visit https://www.xtendoutdoors.com.au/blog/

Love thy neighbor, a bible verse that even today stands as practical as it was when written. The truth of neighbourship is that you can not change your neighbors irrespective of what they are and how they live. Neighbors are a part of your life. Well, this is perpetual to talk about, what about temporary people? There are moments in life when you have temporary neighbors and they might become permanent connections for a lifetime. Something of that can happen over caravanning, and these acquaintances who are caravanning neighbours may become friends forever. While caravanning you get to spend more time with these neighbors and that makes them special. You might not travel along but sharing stuff once in awhile and giving a helping hand brings them closer. On the flip side, the soup can turn sour.

Here is a list of dos and don'ts with the caravaning neighbors-

All That You Can Do

● Call them up- You might be interested in traveling with another family or a couple of families for several reasons. Contact your caravan travel guy and ask him to share contact details of the people traveling on the same route. Call these fellow travelers up and build a rapport as both of you share something common- caravanning.

What You Should Not

• Kids- Keep your kids in control, they can be real annoying and you don’t want people talking about your children. It becomes difficult to travel with the children as their enthusiasm can’t keep them out from being an explorer but you can very well supervise them.

 

• Don’t be noisy- Being noisy is the bone of contention as old as neighborship itself. You might be out there with all your headbanging music accessories, but the ‘disturbance’ would remain the same as at back home. Enjoy the noise in the limits others can bear. Although some noises can’t be controlled and one such noise is a grueling sound of a generator. The best thing you could do is to request your neighbor caravanners to bear with you.

 

• Keep distance- Another thing which could get warring heads is- the space. People travel long ways in search of the perfect spot. The serenity loses if an unwanted company pulls up right there. Even human beings are territorial, although not to the extent of savagery still it could get in a dispute or if not that serious at least will surely irritate and frustrate you.

Be it back at home or out caravanning, neighbors are irreplaceable, all that one could do is try be as cordial as possible. Take sweet memories with you or a bitter grudge.
