RV-ing
7 Pinoys. 1 Chinese. 1 Vietnamese. We were all rooting for Pacquiao last Saturday evening. And when Manny downed Hatton twice on the first round, then knocked him out for good (worse), we were shouting and doing high fives, that even baby Tam Tam came out of her room, and joined the frenzy. What a fight!
After the event, five adults hopped into my nephew's RV and drove to the Starbuck's State of Washington, the residence of Bill Gates. It took us 15 hours of driving from San Jose, CA, but with stops for gas, rest and eating, it was closer to 20.
The RV is a mini-house, complete with bedroom, dining area, kitchen with stove and microwave, toilet and even a tub for bathing. The toilet was the size of a plane's washroom, and even included all its bumpy ride during an air pocket. When the RV moves and you're inside the john, you have to watch it!
The bedroom has two beds and can accommodate 4 people; outside, there's a couch for 1 person to sleep on. The dining table sits 4 people.
We were able to cook rice, spam and egg for breakfast and had adobong manok for lunch.
