thank you to everyone on the list who has sent me such wonderful advice re:
our coast-to-coast summer trip. i am shocked that so many people would take
the time to put quite a lot of thought into answering. so far, i have a very
long shopping list of spare parts and things to pack --- all of them
worthwhile. and my brother (the vw mechanic) is coming around and said he will
get my vanagon ready to go.
yeeehaaa! this is starting to get exciting. thanks again, and please: keep the
good advice coming!
