Spending money is hard work
Permalink  

If there truly is a "travel bug", I've been bitten.

After playing (sometimes not so nicely) with Felicia, I've decided to definitly go ahead and deck out my little old Mitsubishi Express "wizz-banger" for comfort and travel.

So the old keycard has been getting a workout for the past few days, and the budget has taken a wholloping.  But now I have the basics, and it's time to start assembling things in the van. 

I'll post pics in the next day or so of progress.  Tomorrow is the beginning of construction!  This project is being done on a VERY VERY lean budget, so hopefully there will be some tips that I can pass on, and people might offer some budget fit out tips as the pics go up.
