At our Buses by the Beach gatherings, we ply Charlie Laitch with homebrew
and whiskey aournd the fire and make him tell us the tale of how he ended up
buying a Westy and heading to Mexico with Cathy.  They were there 3 months,
I think.  We love the part where he says:  "Everybody said we were crazy and
we would be robbed and killed on the road - we never had one problem - the
only problem was having to replace a power steering hose."

Maybe the media is pumping this story up a little?
