The Beginnings

The idea to drive to Latin America was more of a space filler among various other ideas, but seemed to have won single handedly or hands down, to be more grammatically correct. Therefore preparations began…about 10 days before our departure date.  The car nominated for the adventure was Kijiji’s own Chevy Astro, 2003, previously owned by a Montreal fire chief. Thankfully with the much appreciated help and enthusiasm from family and friends it was a very communal and exciting experience.  Final changes included: thorough cleaning, installation of linoleum flooring, side wood paneling, storage box which folds into a bed, bookshelf, curtains, two level storage space in the trunk, side tables on the trunk doors for cooking, installation of the auxiliary battery and LED lighting.  Thank you folks!
