I really was not sure of what I wanted to do after the Europe vacation. I was missing community, missing family, and feeling guilty. As I had a dog sitting commitment and my daughter’s graduation. I decided this might be the time to try driving across states I have not been to. I had been following can life and minivan camping and decided that a Toyota Sienna minivan was the way to start.
I landed in Pittsburgh and literally the next day bought a 22 hybrid. I love it. It does not have all of the bells and whistles which is fine with me. I loved how it drives and was happy to have it. I got it ready in a week and drove to the pet sitting after a huge snowstorm. I spent the first night sleeping in it when it was 14 degrees out. A heated blanket, a battery pack, and lots of blankets was helpful.
During the pet sit I outfitted it with more things , window covers, portable toilet, etc. I also planned out where things will be stored. I also enjoyed the cuddly pup. Pippa was so much fun and loveable.
It was wonderful to spend weeks in Peachtree, Georgia. I always love seeing Candy and David and their new family member Pippa made it especially enjoyable.
Let another adventure begin.
