Wow, thanks everyone. We really appreciate all the kind thoughts and support.
If the info we post helps even 1 person its more than worth doing.
At this time of the month bucks are getting a little tight, so we're not able to make much progress on the build....but we're sure having a great time and enjoying having the van.
In reality, our lives have for the better since getting out of the RV. Sure, there are a few things that are different, but that can be a good thing.
For instance, we show up at Burger King at 6 am for coffee and restrooms (and internet). Plus side is the good folks working here are friendly and interested in our "story". The manager has our coffee on the counter by the time we swing the door open. He comes out to chat when he has time and this morning coffee was "on him"
BUT....the big plus is that we are enjoying getting "moving" earlier in the day, something I was dreading since I liked to kick back in the RV with coffee.
Yesterday, a sweet :heart: older lady at the library offered showers (no, we didn't stink or look in need, LOL). She also made a wonderful chef's salad with garlic bread, yum
She just wanted to hear about what we're doing and since she hasn't a computer, we've added her to our postcard list.
(If you're not doing postcards do consider it for the few like this lady. A few lines on a pretty picture card will make their day and create a great bond)
We're meeting some very nice people that I think we would have missed out on otherwise.
After all, travel isn't only about the places you see, but often more importantly, the super people you meet along the way.
We may have downsized in space, but I think we have supersized in other ways
