Back in the saddle

Welcome back! I hope you are enjoying keeping up with our journey! Thanks for visiting!

It’s been a month since the accident and Scott and I have healed well. We’ve both been discharged from the burns unit and now only have the scars to show for it all.

We’ve had many a discussion about where to go from here. And as the weeks have passed its been easier to see us back on the road – that was something I wasn’t too sure about in the early days. But we both agreed that we can’t let the freak accident from keep us from finishing off the trip.  One thing is for sure though, there will be no jerry cans on our next rig. I’d rather boil in the heat or freeze in the cold – no gennie needed for us.

Once we heard that the insurance was paying out we headed straight out and looked at vans.  We stayed clear of the expandas and rapids. I don’t think either of us would be able to sleep in one again – knowing how fast it went up in flames…

And the great news is we’ve found a van.  It’s a Paramount Intrepid and it has pretty much everything we need already.

Now all we have to do is get the car all set up – we’re taking Scott’s trusty old Land Rover Discovery.  She’s not the Beast but the Disco should do the job.

Fingers crossed we should be back on the road in a few weeks…
