1987 Westfalia named Po"' |

"We love our van and love taking it places.
We haven't done a lot of traveling with it yet and thought this the
perfect opportunity to go to a place we may otherwise never have seen
in its entirety. Better for us if we go in a group, and a great
group it is. Oh ya, plus Tristen likes to drive. Plus we
have no kids, no pets, no house so nothing holding us back." Sarah & Tristen will join the group in Panama on our journey north. |
