I’ll tell you a secret. All of my sisters and I are fraidy cats. Camping alone is a BIG DEAL!
BUT my sister Gail took her van out alone for the first time this past weekend and had a marvelous time. She enjoyed every peaceful, happy minute! She cut the trip a day short only because today was predicted to be 104 degrees and she was having trouble keeping the van cool enough for comfort in those extreme temperatures.
Now she is looking forward to a lot of trips by herself in the future. What’s really cool is that her hubby enjoyed the time at home by himself, so it was a vacation for both of them!
I am so proud of Gail. She bought the cargo van and remodeled it into a beautiful little motorhome. And now she’s doing what she dreamed of for years… weekend freedom escapes!
