Snow! And lots of it! I awoke to a noise on top of the van and looked out the window. When I saw the winter wonderland, I shouted at Kevin to look outside. Everything was covered in white! The noise I’d heard was snow shifting off my roof. The hail had obviously turned into a…

Only four hours sleep, but we had plans to ride the mountains of Sedona a second time so we were up with the sun. Dan and I were anyway. The luxury of Air Force One was keeping Kevin comfortable a bit further into the morning. Dan and I emerged from the van to find that…

We had a very laid back morning. We slept in until the bright sun became too much. Kevin lingered in bed while I set up our outdoor setting and did some blogging. We sat in the sun to combat the cool breeze while we had breakfast. After his coffee, Kevin entertained himself on the internet…

We had an alarm set this morning so we could be at the bike shop by 9am to pick up Kevin’s rental and make the most of the day, but it wasn’t to be. When I was wandering back from my morning bathroom stop, Kevin was standing at the back of the Astro and he…

We woke to a hot van at around 8:30am and got up straightaway. It took a few goes to be ready to go into the bar for breakfast, me having to wet my hair to make it look respectable and Kevin having to change his shirt for one that didn’t have BBQ sauce stain on…

We both had a good sleep in (Kevin more so than me) before getting up and making breakfast. Kevin pretty much knows where everything is in the van now so he could make his own coffee. He’s adjusting well to van life. Just before we left, Kevin wandered off to use the port-a-loo while I…

Despite Kevin’s intentions last night, he enjoyed a sleep in while I turned over the giant log on the fire to create some morning flames. We’d put this massive log over the struggling fire before bed last night thinking there was no way it would burn, but it went up in some flames because it…

Considering it was our first night together in the van, it went pretty well, apart from Kevin overheating and me being too cold. After a constructive discussion, we had a few things to try for tonight to make us both more comfortable. We had more of a sleep in than I’m used to, a nice…

We made it through the night with all of our body parts intact and no midnight breakins. We were both happy to have had a good sleep on a comfy bed. Apart from an intermission at about 5:30am when I thought Kevin would be wide awake for good, we ended up sleeping in until 9:30am….

I woke up to my set alarm of 6am with the sun just making colour in the distance. It was a warm morning, a warning to the hot day to come. I’d enjoyed sleeping like a starfish on my big double bed that I had all to myself, but couldn’t afford the sleep in if…
