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…

I am so pleased to see that you have made the decision to go back on the road. I will look forward to reading all about it again. I am so pleased that you are healing and that things are improving. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry to read about your accident, what a shock! Good to hear you healed well, and you’ll be back on the road soon.
Looking forward to follow your adventures, Rita
Good to see that you are getting back on the road. Look forward to hearing of more travel adventures, but no fires.
What wonderful news. I’m so glad you’re decided to continue with the trip. Hope you continue to heal well and can get back on the road, putting this behind you, very soon.
We are just about to start our big trip in just a few days – it says a lot that you are going to continue and I hope we meet somewhere along the way. Happy travels – you’ve earned it!
May God go with you both, may the Lord watch over you and may each and every moment be one under His loving gaze.
I am so sorry to hear about your accident. I am glad that you are doing what you can to continue your trip, though! I hope you find yourself some great memories to make up for the loss!
Hello,
