Got Vintage Travel Trailer? Get One....

Colotr2_2Per usual, lots of things are happening and on the horizon.  I finish up a very long year of work in a week, I've got a ton of foodie related articles I'm working on (yum), I'm putting together some budgets for some indie films (I really miss those balls-to-the-wall indie days), my month long trip to Lombok, Indonesia to volcano trek, learn-to-scuba and volunteering is just over a month away, I've got to pull the boat out of the water at the end of October (tragedy) and at the top of the pile of upcoming MST doings is this super-magical little vintage trailer I just bought.  It's not much more than 1500 lbs. and it's about 14 ft. or so give or take.  I can just hook it onto my SUV (yeah....gotta that whole hitch thing worked out) and BAM!  I'm ready to hit the road...which brings me to my next adventure.  I'm headed out to Colorado in a few weeks to grab her, then I'm hauling her home to TN where I will quickly pimp her out gypsy-style and rig up some solar panels and then...once the new year hits, I'm going to spend the winter traipsing through Central America.  I just cannot go through another brutally cold Chicago winter, so I've got to get all this life stuff sorted out before years end.  This trip to the Darien Gap has been one in the making for a really long time, so to finally have a minute to do it (especially by myself), well....long time coming.  And, you know I will def. be fluent in Spanish when I return form that one!  There will be one small hiatus in Feb. to scooch over to Isla Mujeres for my PURE Pilates/Volunteer/Cooking retreat that I'm putting together.  Good winter, I can feel it~
*In other horrifying news...Flower from Meerkat Manor (Animal Planet) DIED in last nights episode from a Cobra bite to the head.  She was so busy saving rival gangs lost pup, Axl, that she missed the snake slithering into her den where her newborn pups were resting.  When she went in to save them, he bit her. It was bawl-fest central over at my place, I can tell you that right now.
