About this Blog
This Blog houses the ramblings from some of the Volkswagen Vanagon & Eurovan Camper owners that traveled through Mexico over the winter of 2007-2008. The key stop on the trip was Zamora, Zamora de Hildago, Michoacan State, for the wedding of April Alanen-Condelli and Sal Hernadez-Cano. April is the daughter of Frank & Rita, the organizers of this adventure. After the wedding the Zamora travellers had many adventure while in Mexico traveling, camping and enjoying winter in the sun.

An epic journey to what will be a wonderful wedding. Sending my best to the young couple!
Best of luck to all of you! What a nice blog; I’ll be following along like many others who are envious of a trip like yours!
You guys are living the dream of roamin’ the open road for many of us watching you here on the blog. I kind of know what you’re going through as I was one of the owner/ participants in the 1999 “Return to the Fatherland” Tour of nine pre-1958 VWs that drove from L.A to NYC, then sent the cars to Europe and then drove from England back to Wolfsburg Germany and then on to the ‘99 Bad Camberg VW event, then all the back home (6,631 miles on my ‘55 Oval Sunroof Beetle). Road trips like yours are a great adventure into the unknown. Ah the good times, hell, even the bad time are times you’ll never forget! Have a safe journey and a great time at the wedding and all around Mexico. Keep up the great posts to the blog so everyone can live it through your experiences!

Help! I need to sell my 2003 Eurovan camper and am having trouble figuring out what it’s worth. Any help out there? It is a westfalia camper with 78 K miles and in good shape. In Florida. Where can I find the community of people who know and love these cars? Please help…..thanks, Peter
Hey Peter,
The best place to start will be
http://www.thesamba.com
There is a section for running a classified add as well as a large community of VW owners that discuss all things VW and I’m sure you can find answers to any questions there.
Good Luck,
