Thanks for the encouragement. I am keeping a little diary, in the way of letters to friends, but now I think I should be a little more detailed about it.

We headed out with a conversion van that we took the tiny little electric seat/bed and two back captains chairs out of. My husband ingeniously took a army bunk bed we had apart and cut the legs down so he can sit on it and not hit his head. Our mattress is on it and it has storage underneath.So we have a full sized bed. We have our own porta-potti and a huge cabin tent and camping gear for when we want to set up camp. We are also pulling a truck-bed trailer with a topper on it for most of our stuff.

We do have a mac that allows for wi-fi, but find just using the amazing libraries of America just as easy sometimes.

One of our biggest problems is the van doesn't have a working ciggerette lighter, but we plan to get an inverter when we can afford to. We really are doing this on the money we make as we go, there is very little (NONE!) safety net. Exciting, and scary as hell!

No kids this time.(Oh yeah!) Just the two of us. We started in Northern Michigan and are working our way to Florida. We've hit Indiana, Chicago area Illinois, Nashville and now we're in the Atlanta Georgia area. Any catters here?

We're staying with one of our kids till we head off for Florida. (Gotta say, love that private indoor plumbing!)
