    I once had my transmission go out in my van in Nashville on the way back to the Detroit area from New Orleans. I ended up exploring Nashville at no more than 30 MPH because that was as fast it would go. Went shopping to kill time before bed that night and somehow got locked inside a store when it closed with no warning and all the employees left. Set off the alarm going out the fire exit and the cops showed up almost immediately. Fun times sorting out that little mix up. The transmission guy was super nice, worked on it all day and refused to charge me for his time because it was a lost cause and he felt bad for me being stranded and obviously living in the van. It was a crappy van so I wasn't too upset, I considered just abandoning it but at the last minute managed to sell it to a scrapper for $400. Rented a car to get home...amazing how much I was able to fit in a PT Cruiser! Hope your situation turns out to be cheaper than expected!

    When you get a permit for The Wave, you jump on it. The place is amazing. I have known people waiting 15 days in the vicinity applying everyday to win the permit lottery without success. Sorry for the tough ending, but you are a seasoned traveler, you know that it can happen and how to deal with it. All in all, it was a fabulous opportunity and you will not regret to have done it. PS: in Europe, diesel is cheaper than regular.

    Sounds like an alternator. There is no power to go uphill. I might be wrong tho.

I think long hair is actually easier to put up. That’s my hair opinion 😅. But anyway Moab looks so cool and hopefully your van gets better. Vehicles are so annoying when they decide to misbehave.

    "I just took my shoes off for TSA, they smell so bad" hahahaha 🤣 Your feet may stink, but it was totally worth it, right? Omg, is this the flight you drove back for?! That's so awesome! What an amazing, fun, spontaneous adventure! These are the kind of trips and memories that are priceless in my opinion. Thumbnail image is glorious! What a beautiful location. The colours and rock formations are spectacularly stunning! I could spend forever there. What a lovely treat to be offered by your friend Jordan. Did Jordan shoot the hikes with a bodycam on? And, if so, does he have a channel or a link? I wouldn't mind watching that as well. I hope brushing your teeth for extra long spared you from any judgement haha. Wow, this was such a roller coaster of emotions. From such a high to a low. Not as big a deal, but forgetting your jacket still sucks. I'm so sorry about Janeway though. I hope it's just a minor tummy ache and she heals up soon with no further cost. I would be absolutely heartbroken if it was something bad, so I can't even imagine how you must be feeling right now. Even though you always seem to find the best in a situation, I'm rooting for you and sending you good thoughts. Hugs 💚 I hope all your friends and family are giving you all the love and support right now 🫶 Ps. Your photo of your first time doing Angel's Landing reminded me of your video when you hiked with your dad and sister. That was so fun and your dad seems really cool.

Jordan and I are both go-pro nerds lol!! he doesn't have any social media though! I was so mad about the jacket lollllll and then the van problems made it seem not so bad haha!! This was a few weeks ago at this point so I can say that Janeway is now fully healed from her tummy ache! it was an easy fix but a very expensive one😭 its okay though, I put her through a lot so it was about time for a repair of some sort! in the moment i was super overwhelmed though and worried. Aww that was one of my favorite videos I've ever made, my Rim to Rim video! I seriously have the best family. they are hilarious.

But I'm happy Janeway is still going and I hope you are feeling better now. The Wave is absolutely beautiful and for sure a bucket list attraction. That whole area looked incredible though. Having a guide to show you all the best spots was a genius move! Yes, that Rim to Rim backpacking video. That's the one. It's still one of my favourite videos of yours. A beautiful hike, wholesome vibes and just funny and fun. You can feel the love through the screen. From the limited viewing and experience watching bits with them in, you really do seem to have an amazing family.
