Two weeks ago, a terrible flood hit Tabasco, Mexico when a dike broke in Villahermosa, the capital of the State of Tabasco. Over 100,000 people were displaced from their homes. The suffering, the hunger and the thirst, the lost ones....this disaster ranks as the worst single disaster in the history of Mexico.
I am keeping the people of Mexico and the states of Tabasco and Chiapas in my prayers.
Meanwhile, I hopped a plane to Phoenix Az. to pick up the motor home I plan to use for this adventure.
This is a Vogue Prima Vista Cruiser. She is an older style motor home but one of the best every made! Vogues compare to Prevost buses. In 1990, so the story goes, a fellow by the name of Harvey Mitchell bought Vogue Motor Homes. Always catering to high end users, Vogue had fallen on hard times. Winnebago had made a large impact in the motor home market and Vogue had let its quality control drop. Frankly, they had a bad reputation.
Enter Harvy Mitchell. Harvey put the company back on the map by redesigning the interior of the motor homes. These went for average so so units to luxury top of the line finishes. There are no two Vogues identical, each was custum built. Most feature marble floors, corian counter tops which in those days was top top of the line, and a bunch of toys!
This one has a washer dryer, leverlor jacks, generator and a fabulous master suite!
