There is something quite romantic about just pulling over next to the
ocean, or a water falls, or an orange grove, and sleeping.  Maybe it's
all the Woody Guthrie literature I've been reading.  Or maybe Steinbecks
Travels with Charley.

But I do believe that is what has interested me in a VW Van in the first
place.  They are set up to do just that.  It's not like these big
intrusive motor homes that people drive.  They are just a car.  Has
anyone seen the movie, "An American Quilt"?  It has this old Micro Bus
at the end where this couple curls up into and goes to sleep...Er, uh, I
think they were sleeping, maybe not....:)
