Left LA and headed for Vegas after brunch with my aunt. She gave me a gift from my mom, that completely summarizes all the hope I have at this beginning....

drove in cool and steady! No overheating! yay! Feeling weird about parking Medusa and staying at a hotel, although I still haven't camped in her yet. When I parked her, there were a few other vans parked in the lot that are obviously being slept in... Maybe I'll try that next time!
Staying here for an extra night to connect with some folks and then off to the real van life! Scared but feeling ready. Feeling super introspective right now, after a month or two of a lot of extrovert time... I think it will be good, and challenging to spend some time with myself in nature!
