Whaaa? Mark and Judy are BACK IN THE VAN!!! Meet LAX...
Yeah, we were hoping for an even more outrageous hippie van than 2020, but this odd looking vehicle was the only one in the lot, so she's ours for the next 3 weeks. The van company affectionately calls this model "LAX" (did we tell them we're moving to Cali??), so with some easy inspiration from Miley Cyrus, we have our theme song for this trip https://youtu.be/VocyOtlNpqY (stop at :20 if you can't take it anymore). Jaffe, you know I can't pass up a theme.
She's not quite as flamboyant as our last van, "Surreal," but hey, this is a different trip. How different? Let's set the mood here: https://youtu.be/fMFSXUPwS2w (you can stop this one at :20 too). One hubcap waved goodbye on the trip from the Jersey City parking lot to Piermont, and the other is still looking for us on the NJ Turnpike.
AND YET SOME THINGS HAVE STAYED THE SAME...
For those of you who remember our 7-week trip back in 2020, we were rattled by a pop-up thundershower as soon as we hit the highway and within minutes blessed with an unexpected rainbow. Well, here we are about 20 minutes from our apartment, and the heavens have opened up. Our captain kept his steady hand on the wheel, and then [cue the angel choir] it was THERE.
Wine chillin' in the mini fridge, jumbo bag of Snyders in the front seat, California Dreamin' on my Pandora, feels like we're writing a country song. And tell those stinkin' hubcaps, this is how WE roll...
