    Hi Lulu! You’re such an inspiration for good planning and organization! I wish I could be like you! Thank you for sharing all your tips for keeping warm! When I start my van life, it’ll be easier because of all of the things I’ve learned from you!

    Now I want to rewatch your best cabbage recipe video again. Loved that you used the word “hankering”. It’s under used IMO. Love the hat idea for sleeping!!!!! I find many of the hats are too big of a layer on my ear when side sleeping. I remember your excitement at having found those Bombas in AZ. Love your very organized, very deliberate set up & ways of preparing!! Safe travels. Peace.

    The coldest I’ve ever been in my life was on a Texas beach in December. And I was inside a building that was supposedly heated! The wind coming off that water is brutal!
    I ordered the hat in bright red to wear hiking during hunting season.

    Lulu, I just love your organization and how you have a place for everything where you can find it without hunting! Glad to see you have a wool blanket and gooney hat in case it is very cold for you. I now know what kind of hat I can use tent camping! Like you, I can't stand that tight sensation and slippage on my head of a winter hat ! Great alternative for me, thanks Lulu. Massachusetts actually got rain today after a few months of dry weather. We need it ! It is 42 degrees at 7:00PM, so cold weather is creeping up on us. With a good food supply, comfy & warm bed, and everything put away nice and neat, you should be having great traveling! Enjoy your drive and sing until your heart is content ! I am sure it will be nice to get home, see your cat and family, and just relax. 🏡________________________________🚐 🎶🎼🎶🎵🎶

    Safe trip back home Lulu. Love the cold weather options you shared.
    I have some sock booties similar to yours and my feet actually get hot so they are amazing in cold weather.
    I'm going to look into that hat option because a regular Bennie just pops off my head and then I lose a lot of body heat from the top of my head.
    That hat looks like it would do the trick while still being comfortable.
    Blessings to you and all the ladies and safe travels to you all as you go your separate ways for awhile.

    Thanks, Lulu! VERY helpful since I'll be driving from ME to FL in January!🥶 I think my little Jackery Explorer 300 just might be able to handle that electric heated mattress pad. Bombas slippers, hat and wool blanket are all great suggestions as well.

Let us all know how you are doing along the way! How is Delicata squash different? Does it taste different than your average acorn squash? We've never tried it.

    Hi LuLu :) if you find H Mart along the way, they have steamed Japanese sweet potatoes (but they call them Korean sweet potatoes, they are steamed or baked over hot stones, sometimes they are purple and sometimes white, all sweet and delicious but I know you don't like white swt potatoes so much but these may be different? ), and they have whole grain brown and black rice steamed inside acorn squash halves, no oils and no seasonings, just steamed and ready to eat. Also lots of seaweed by the case. Their fresh veg selection is massive. There are locations in TX, GA, IL and along the East Coast (and west). They also have 4 canisters of butane cooking fuel for around $8 (prices can vary). And it's entertaining, it would be worthwhile I think. Some of their locations are smaller but I think they all have the sweet potatoes

    • @LulusWay64
      @LulusWay64  14 часов назад

      yes, I have an H-Mart near me back home. their organic selection is pretty much non-existent and that's really important to me! but I'll look for their butane at that good price! thanks for letting me know that! 😊

      I've spent almost nothing on this trip. hardly much on gas, just my food (which I would be buying traveling or not), and $10 for one beach parking permit. and that's it!! I've spent no other money!! I don't do touristy things and I'm not a shopper, I don't need entertainment.

I have a habit of turning my ALARM clock back one hour for waking up and going to bed in the Fall and Springing it one hour forward in the spring. (In addition to daylight savings) I do this because I like to watch the SUNRISE and set in the winter...and I get as much natural light that I can during the winter. In the Summer-I go to bed when It is getting dark and wake up with the light. (It feels "healthy" for me and my body).
