Jasper Americana surf trip con El Jasper? A Central America?
Im in.
Thats all I have to say.
As for your stories.
Sounds awsome guys. Glad to hear you are getting some good waves and enjoying the open road.
Nirvana at last! Seems like you have done the mid California Coast to the tip of Baja, safely, surfing your day down! Safely! Enjoy the distination, worked hard to get there!
Jasper chugs along! What a beloved, LONG TIME friend! Recall the day we went out to check Jasper out, buy it. How many miles since?
Perhaps holding up better than most?
Enjoy every moment.......for re-entry won't be easy! Back to the fast lane again with a different perspective!
Brian, Nicole, hope you are planning to come to Julie's on Saturday, June 10th for Katie's graduation party. Invitation awaiting at home in the mail. I would like to hitch a ride back to Marin with you. Plan to stay at Betsy's, but do lots of Buena Vista things!
In the meantime, keep the travel log's coming!
love
mom/sonia

(she passed 6 hours after i said goodbye, but its for the better so don't think its a bad thing). remind yourselves everyday how lucky you are to be healthy and young and happy.

Sounds Fantastic! Hi Nicole and Brian,
Phil and I are so glad to read your update - what a great trip you are having! Anytime there is the opportunity to sit and read read read I'm up for it - one of the ultimate relaxing joys - hard to find the time in daily life to do it.
The van story was really bizzarre - any ideas what that was all about?
It is RAINING if you can believe that. Yes, for 3 days now we have had crazy weather with clouds, rain, cool - rather unusual for May, but the weather of course has been crazy all year.
Continue the fun, know you are missed, and return safely to us!
m2 and Phil
Your trip sounds wonderful All is well here...eager to see your photos...am very interested in what you both are reading...weather as been alittle of everything hot heat, rain, sun, clouds...Nana is doing OK...Kate and I visited her yesterday...Mabel the tabby cat was sleeping with her on the end of the bed...Lady the Golden Retr...followed us in...nice to have animals visiting...today Kate and I are going back today to bring watermelons, grapes and strawberries and play some Old Maid...she looks fine but saws she is not feeling well and said...sometimes I think I may die...I think she is fearful verses Bumpa embraced his destiny...Jasper sounds like she is holding up well...enjoy your journey and time together...
Fin-ah-lee i know that it is not easy, but you have to find some way to blog more often. I worry. They had to truck in the Prilosec for my worried stomach. Why doesn't Nicole have her trusty Boogie Board?
something so right yes yes yes manifest manifest brother brian, einstein once said "time is relative to what you are doing" and your equation sounds like your right on time with the good vibe...
when we live life by the wind we are on time all the time,
may the wind be at your backs, the sunshine on your faces and the road rise to meet you,
pax vobiscum,
mateo
Hi Brian and Nicole, So glad to hear from you. Crazy roads in Baja huh..., huge trucks travel the road so fast and no room to spare. Glad youi didn't get asked for your Visa, rules and laws change daily in Baja, the locals seem to make up their own. Awesome seeing you two in San Diego. Have a safe and fun journey. Love,Anne
Hasta la vista Commander-in-Chief GW Bush just spoke on national TV regarding illegal immigration. He specifically said that American citizens (former) traveling abroad without tourist visas will be forever be banned from returning to the good ol' USA. Guess you will have to be part of the reverse talent drain and try and improve the standard of living in Mexico or wherever you end up. It will probably be ok though since you like tacos so much. Enjoy!
Have a great trip... Everyone is well. Nana moved to a private room yesterday...where the tabby cat lives. Nana and the cat, MABEL are not too sure if they are happy campers. Driving up to Chico to see Jenn who is moving to an appt. Will be back tomorrow. Have a great time... Julie
san diego? hmm, isn't that nice. you spent the evening in san diego with brian's sister. well, aren't you guys so very nice to have done that. DAMN YOU!
Two donkeys driving to Baja in a VW bus called Jasper. May 2006.
Brian and Nicole planned this trip in February. Brian has had the '79 VW bus (Jasper) since early 1994, and has driven it successfully to and from Alaska and New England (twice). Over the past few years, Jasper has shown signs of age and failed the smog inspection. After considering the option of letting weeds grow up through it in a field somewhere in N. California or donating it to charity for a small tax deduction, we've chosen to take hit down to Baja where there are no laws and she can live out the rest of her days in pe... full info
