It is time to name the van...suggestions welcome
We have a van...well we are getting it tomorrow, but the deposit has been paid.
The make is a '88 Ford Transit, which is a commercial type vehicle, with the modification into a camper van done professionally by a company that takes vehicle from factory and coverts them. The other option was some home brew van with much hippie character, but much less practicality...and yeah it smelled like hippies.
Meaghan's bag finally arrived, which relieved some of the stress we have been dealing with since we arrived. Things can get going now.
Our plans have changed (again..I know!!). Since we are in the UK now and no longer need to return in August we figured why waste the money to ferry back (not cheap by any means). The downside is that Meg had to break all the plans with her relatives here which is really unfortunate, but hopefully some of them will be available to meet on shorter notice.
What is a Euro trip without a couple bumps in the road? The van has good shocks. (Actually it doesn't)
We also had to break our plans with Kyle, my school buddy, who is on his own European adventure (complete with chicks is his FB pics are to be believed) since we wont be in Rome until much later. There is a chance we may be able to meet up in Germany though.
We leave the flat tomorrow to start our exploratory mission of the UK until the 22 of July. Why such a weird date you ask, because the taxes and MOT (road worthiness) expire on the 23 and we want to be out of the UK when they do.
If you have a name suggestion for the van, post it in the comments section

Hi guys I hope you enjoy Europe, I grew up with Patrick in Canada and now live in Barnes London, he has told me you are in Richmond which is only a ten minute drive away, if you guys need anything just send me and email x Enjoy Europe it is a wonderful place x Dorset is a really lovely place to visit, Purbeck specifically is beautiful if you would like any campsite names for down that way I have a few. As for a van name it does look a bit like the Pope Mobile! Best wishes Janet
