I was settling into the van with Rusty for a couple of hours of air conditioned relaxation in the parking lot, when Layne showed up at the side door and slid it open. The 105 degree afternoon heat swirled into my darkened sanctum of cool air.
"Are you done already?" It was hardly gracious but the question was heartfelt.
"Ready to go," she said. I was thinking the physicians assistant had postponed her appointment.
I took down the black out curtain I had just put up behind the front seats to make it easier to cool the back of the van, the living space. Then I started putting my shoes back on. Time to go back to the hotel across the desert.
Layne had a bump on her leg which had to be burned off, all taken care of in 15 minutes and thanks to Medicare, no bills no copays and no insurance company approvals of the doctor's medical decision. Easy peasy. However van life is interrupted for a couple of days in a fully air conditioned Hilton hotel, thanks to American Express credit card points. No travel for a couple of days but this weekend we want to be on the road to the Central California Coast. A few photos to pass the time as I update my files and enjoy strong WiFi.
Even early morning walks with Rusty fry under the Arizona sun. He loves to walk the RV park and I take advantage to enjoy the strange desert plants and residents' sense of humor.
