Yesterday someone parked an RV across the street from the office in hopes of selling it. It is old, a bit run down but I absolutely love RV's. When I was a kid I was always jealous of the families that took road trips in RV's. I imagined the space, and the freedom of that kind of travel must be as close to shangri La as you could get.
My family road trips consisted of cramming in the backseat of a car with my sister next to me, crap strewn around me to keep me entertained but mostly I liked looking out the window and day dreaming. Don't get me wrong, our vacations were always great. We always had AC and my sister and I didn't fight very much but there was always something about the idea of being able to walk around while in route and not being confined to one spot for 5 hours that sounded very cool.
Even now I think it would be fun to get an RV and take a road trip with friends. Driving around the country, exploring, meeting new people, visiting our friends that are strewn about, fanfuckingtastic if you ask me. We could blog about our misadventures and start a cult following in the nerdom that is the blogging community. Who knows, maybe even write a book about the empiphanies of RV travel.
They are selling it for $9,500 or best offer...who wants to quit their jobs and travel with me?
