M n' M stands for Monica and Marty. LK 02 56 is the plate insignia on our truck. Unique in a way I will soon explain. Monica is a semi-retired restaurant consultant. I am a retired high school teacher. We met nine years ago and agreed to a ten year contract together. A sort of Mexican marriage so to speak. We will see what awaits us next year.?? One of the main chapters in the so-called contract entitled 'getting together', was an agreement to give up our homes, live in a trailer for half the year, and travel the world the other half, seeking adventure and knowledge and, maybe, finding that new home - that paradise - together. In short, we succeeded. We have backpacked throughout Central and South America, and made four separate excursions to Asia. And we have found that paradise home on tiny Gabriola Island off the coast of British Columbia which brings me back to our plates. Monica wondered how we would ever remember our new B.C. plates. Easy. 'LK' is for 'lucky' which, to have each other, we definitely are. The pair of us is a simple enough explanation for '02'. And the '56'? Well, Monica is in her fifties and was born in the sixties, while I was born in the fifties and am now in my sixties.
