Some of you already know that a couple of years ago I made a BIG life changing descision t o get rid of everything I owned except what fit in my old 77VW Bus Lucretia..and move from Charleston,SC to Portland Oregon. My bus had too many problems to make it , so I had to rent a car, but I did it.
I miss my VW. Me and Spot had the best times ever..sipping vino and just chillin'...Going camping or just in the driveway... 
I still have wanderlust.. I still want to live in my Gypsy Wagon and be free..
I am looking for another van . I am feeling those winds of change...

I always loved seeing the pictures of your van. It looked so gypsy-ish! And you seemed to have a lot of fun with it. I'm sure you'll find another one and be off on an exciting new adventure before too long!
ReplyDeleteJust came back from Alice in Wonderland 3D IMAX
ReplyDeleteThat's about all the adventure I've gotten lately. But hey it was good!
You are a brave soul Pam! I'm envious! I love your words.
ReplyDeleteI've always had the wanderlust in me too. Moved so many times I can't count them all. Don't know what it's like to stay in one spot more than 2 years straight. My mother always made it an adventure for us when we were kids. I think it's just in our blood.
ReplyDeleteWow...First I love your VW Van (you had), it's so cool and I can only imagine the fun cross country trips you had made in it. I do hope you find another one and deck it out again. How fun would it be to just pick up and head out not knowing exactly where you're going and just knowing all the cool exciting places you'll see. You're a brave soul indeed. Maybe someday I'll have that freedom too!
ReplyDeleteLately my biggest adventure was watching Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the IMAX theatre...LOL! I was beautiful.
Have a great day!
Bright blessings,
Kathy
I love your wanderlust spirit. My husband and I backpacked around Europe for 3 months. Oh to go back to those days! I love the VW van, hope you can find a new one. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThis time you'll know what to watch out for when you get a groovy wagon for the road, best wishes.
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of the heroine in "Chocolate" Have you seen that movie. It is one of my favorites. Johnny Depp adds to the excitement of the movie I must say. I too have wanderlust but in a different way. I must travel constantly. Just got back from Mexico and locked in a trip to Wales, Scotland, England and Ireland for summer. Everywhere I go, I feel like I belong there.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where you will be off to next....
"Oh that magic feeling... no where to go..."
ReplyDeleteI say go for it, Pam. The looming peak oil crisis may put a crimp in our mobility pretty soon, unless they come up with greener technology before it hits. It could be fun, though, to chase an average temperature of, say, the mid-70s wherever that leads.
The other approach is to go deeper wherever you already are... assuming one likes it there. That's my bliss now, refining my favorite routines, exploring variation and nuance. I suspect they both lead to the same place.
Dear Gypsy,
ReplyDeleteThis I love about you Pam........your wanderlust spirit~
Because only those who listen will know and only those who are courageous will go. There will always be two paths to take. So many will never try.
Since I don't own a wanderlust spirit, God made me have one. I moved 7 times in 16 years.
It was the best thing to happen.
So excited for you~
for your next journey.

Pam, I love your VW and your Spot. How exciting your life must be. We all have our own styles of life and I just am exicted about yours. Think of me when you travel and say, "ah, Gloria is a homebody, so I dedicate this next trip to her." Yes I am a homebody and just have to have roots, but I so admire your ways Pam. Don't forget to always have your computer so you can stop at places where you can "plug in" and let us know what's going on. I know you are not leaving yet, but just a reminder that we are here for you. ::hugs::
ReplyDeleteYour Gypsy Wagon was the coolest - and I'm picturing you and Spot in an even cooler Gypsy Caravan, following your wanderlusting dreams...
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOOOve that you not only dream wanderlust, you live it, you make it happen.... you are on your life journey, your ride, you embrace it and own it, and make it happen....... Oh you gypsy love!! xoxox (I know you will find the perfect dream machine on wheels soon ;)
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Love what Jeaux said, he always makes common sense.
ReplyDeleteFree spirited people are always happy....because their expectations are much more fluid than the rest....xoxoxo You rich gal!
Hi and thanks for following me. Love your VW and your dog is a beauty. There is nothing like the Gypsy life. I miss it too.
