Hey Amigo, Help Me Score One Ticket to Paradise

I’m a procrastinator. I can’t help it; it’s in my DNA. I was gonna write this blog today two months of todays ago. But why do today what you can put off ‘til tomorrow, right? I also hate obscene ticket service – ahem, “convenience” – fees (I just bought a $350 music festival ticket that had $59 in service charges. Two of ‘em, actually. Damn, that was a painful display of whorish thievery – nothing convenient about it). I also suffer certifiable FOMO. If there’s a show my friends are going to, I just gotta be there.

When we started RVing to music festivals with our friends Barry and Jen, the smell of bacon frying in the morning outside their RV Bertha was enough to wake the tired masses and take the edge off any hangover. You can’t share that sweet, smoky aroma cooking bacon on a skillet in an RV’s indoor kitchen. It wafts wildly and most boldly when the pork’s being prepared outside – while allowing those inside to enjoy their slumber after a late night’s rage.

So, when we went looking for our own travel trailer, we sought that outdoor kitchen. Amazing how many sales reps said we couldn’t get an outdoor kitchen in a unit under 27 feet or so. We eventually found Cafe Nirvana in our Coachmen Freedom Express 249RBS.
