Love the minivan tours, they're my favorite. I love her personality, and her rescue pooch. Kudos for overcoming your fears as well. Fear is a life robber and can keep us from doing so many things... Be safe and happy trails.

My van already has been ready, but I experiment (as you did) on short excusions. So far I have settled for that, but my heart doesn't want to settle anymore. Your van looks very comfortable and easy to access. Very cool. All the best on your future.
