destination, yeah? [ dreamy airstream interiors ]Another catalyst for my road-life obsession: my parents (pre-me) lived in Europe for 5 years, driving their VW van up and over and through several countries. My dad painted the side of it. My mom was an impossible babe. So romantic. They still have the map, detailing their route. Pack rats have their merits. Since hearing this story, Ive been longing to pack that map, rent a little van of my own and retrace their route. Double-romantic. The mister is on board for this part (though Im not sure if hes as crazy about the 70s-curtained-Airstreams-every-summer idea). There has been talk between my parents of buying up a fixed-up 70s VW van so that they can use it to zig-zag the continent when dad retires. Some serious and aggressive Kijiji action was happening for a while. Theyve recently abandoned it, though. Not the zig-zagging part, just the means with which to do it. Damn, I was hoping for borrowsies. They bought a far less romantic, yet highly practical and reliable alternative: a brand new Santa Fe ("the SPORT model", my mother brags. Good lord). But I guess reliability trumps romance when youre pushing 60. And I know that baby will see a ton of mileage. [ wantsies ]My in-laws own a motor home, too. They should use it more (I know youre reading this, mom and dad #2. There, I said it). Aaaaand: my bestie and her hubby bought a VW van, fixed her up and drove here from Alberta WITH A TODDLER AND A NEWBORN. Yeah, shes my hero. So, wait. Is EVERYONE living my dream except me?!See: prone to dramatics.Anyway, Im due. Mobile living just isnt in my budget unless GelaSkins will pay me to work remotely (I also know YOURE reading this. Hint, hint). We need to save money which is probably the least fun thing of all time. In fact the EXACT opposite of Airstreams and mix tapes and windy hair is saving money. And, I am yet again ending a blog post with this sentiment: a girl can dream. And I do.
