Melissa: When I first met
Pauline, she was more of a yuppie glamour girl. I had just
bought a Volkswagen bus and was ready to hit the road. I really
admired her willingness to go with me and live in the bus,
because I'm one to just jump in the pool and go for
it. Pauline: Those road trips are some of the hardest
times of my life, but also some of the most fun. Melissa comes
up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Sometimes I think, "No
way!"But I'm often overly cautious and analytical,
and Melissa has brought out a lot in me that I never thought
I could do. Biking all winter long in Milwaukee? No way would
I have ever done that! Melissa: I really like traveling
with Pauline. We're going to be together for a long
time, there's so much to see. Pauline: I don't
see us living 30 years in the same house, working the same
jobs. You only get one shot, so let's have as much fun
as we can. We've been traveling since day one, in Lucy
the Volkswagen or Freddie the RV. As long as we keep that
spirit of adventure alive, we'll keep us alive.
Together since March 1999
