A new deck of playing cards will be joining us on the next trip.
The old ones are more than a little worn around the edges. Bent corners, faded faces, a suspicious stickiness and enough wear and tear to suggest theyāve got a few tales to tell. They may be battered, but they probably still have a few aces up their sleeves.
More than three years of full-time vanlife. Countless games, questionable shuffling and more accusations of cheating than we care to mention.
Theyāve survived evenings of laughter, tall tales, dubious music and the occasional fiercely competitive game with friends weāve met along the way.
But even the best deck eventually needs to be put out to pasture.
Time for retirement.
New cards. New roads. New places. New adventures.
Who knows what the next trip will bring?
Whatever happens, weāre ready to shuffle things up, deal with whatever comes our way and play the hand weāre dealt.
Because lifeās too short to fold now.
