Thanks, we just found that "lost" footage lately... i felt nostalgic when i
saw it, why not share it.

Well, you said it yourself, i work hard in summer/spring/fall time for that
reason! To get away, see the road (and all know that I HATE winter!). But
it's hard to leave for such a long period when you have stuff to take care
at home, i had the apartment, Sylvie kid, family and the shop. On top, they
all cost big money and none ($$) is coming in when travelling, but with a
lot of preparation anything is possible. We where suppose to be more than 40
vans on that trip, just before we left, only 1 where able to make it, but 50
tried hard. Money was tight but the spirit was high!

On my web site I encourage people to do their own mechanic, to learn about
their van, but I also encourage them to travel and you the darn thing!

Men, life is so short, it's trip like that that keep me going.
