Today is a good day to buy a van

---

We are going to look for vans today. We explored a few options such as long term leasing and Euro rail, but all either lacked the freedom we want or were too expensive. Actually the long term leasing was outrageous...one quote for the six months was $70 000!!!!!!!!

Either way after some more internet detective work we found some good sites for buying vans and even got a reasonable quote for insurance that is good all over the UK.

We found out today that Jenn, our intended travel buddy, wont be coming on our trip. We were disappointed but understood. We are going to have to re-evaluate our itinerary as our first 1.5 months of the trip we were trying to cover the paces Jenn wanted to see at a more break neck pace then we had planned. We are now going to take a more leisurely pace and explore the more northern countries during the summer months and then the southern countries in the colder months. Are we not smart?

We also are re-evalutating our financial situation. Without a third person helping cover costs for the first third of adventure we are going to have to be even more thrifty, but I think we will survive.

Okay it is 5:09 am and I cant sleep so I going to try to be productive.
