So... after 2 years for wishfull discussion with my Rainbow Gathering friends and then realizing my son wanted to tour the america ... well we found our Thomas the bus.

So... big ideas pleg me, i'm a naive hard working guy and never seem to learn - as a newby to shoolies, this is my advice - brace for impact ahahah

"worse case scenario I will park it and live in it"

Welcome Berty!

Ready to come on down and see if we US of A folk are as crazy as on TV ?

We are. But so are you. Buying a bus????


Tell us more about who is aboard, how long, what you want to see (World's Largest Ball of Twine is not to be missed).

You decided- Hardest part is over.

Ok, I lied- it gets much worse.

Welcome Berty. Lots of help around here but good help. May I suggest you type in French then use a translator to post. Gets your point across much better.
Good luck on the heaters, ou need them up there.
Take care,

John

Hummm ... not sure I could make it but I did think a proper retirement plan would be to buy land in an echo village in Costa Rica and have the bus shipped there
