I just hate spending so much money on accommodations when I'm going to be unconscious and won't appreciate them. I'd rather spend the money on the waking hours, or better yet, just be able to travel longer. Good luck on your travels! Hi “Van”,

Don't worry. I'm doing well. It's just been a mix of being really busy and not having anything in particular to say about living in a car. Still enjoying it, but I guess the novelty has worn off. :) Fill like I've said most of it already. Thanks for the concern. Like I said, I've been busy, but it's been good things. Just a bunch of friends in town to help celebrate my birthday and now I'm heading to NC for a conference. I'll actually be teaching at the tatting conference this year. Looking forward to it. Will you be there? Hi Karen,

However, I'm missing reading of your most recent adventures. I hope you're not overworking yourself and to busy, but that's better than not being well. Miss you. PS Hope we both get to make it to Spokane next year. You're a talented tatter. Jessica,

It's not as revolutionary as living on Mars in a swimsuit, but it's by far greener and simpler. I've been looking into different travel options for long distance trips. Staying in hotels every night would bankrupt me rather abruptly. I checked into RV's -- found them to be too cumbersome for me. Talk about dragging along a dead whale. I looked into tent camping -- certainly a viable option, until campgrounds started raising rates to $30/night. In the future when I travel across America, I'm going to sleep in my car or van primarily. On a different note, I agree with you that slowing down while traveling is a good thing. Use the time to reflect and to learn more about yourself. Travel can clear the mind, but only temporarily. Daily introspection and reflection are needed. Good luck and safe travels! Jessica,
