Our Family On The Road

Follow the Eddy Family as we embark on the our journey to a life traveling in simplicity. We sold our stuff, bought a conversion van, and are making our way to Central America. We believe there is more to life then the rat race, and we are taking a leap of faith, trying to find a balance between work and experiencing the world. Our three children will be shaped by many cultures and as we walk next to them on this path we will be changed too.

Preparing For Our Central America Trip: The Van


We are trying to buy this 1995 E350 turbo diesel high top extended length conversion van (with 120,000 miles on it), from a family in Florida. It was converted in 2001, rebuilt transmission in 2006 and a brand new engine in 2008 (less then 5000 miles on it). So far we have had a few snags with the owner of it, he decided to take one last vacation with it, lol, so we are waiting for him to get back. Then have a friend of my friends family take a look at it, he is a mechanic. If all goes well we should be buying it later this week. Our friend Jay (and maybe Heather) has agreed to go and pick it up, and drive it cross country, back to Bellingham, WA. Wish us luck. -Jason
