Things have happened so quickly since my last post. At the time I posted the article about the differences in busses, I had seen a bus I was passively interested in, but I didn’t think I was that serious about it. I hoped when I created this website that I could document in detail the process of choosing a bus to make into a motorhome. I never dreamed that I would buy it so soon. I thought that everyone I knew would just say “Wow, that was a mistake” or, “Is this really something you want to do?” But to my surprise that has not been the case (I want to go into detail about this in a post soon to come). So I spent some time thinking about what I really wanted, and talking to my fiancé about what she was okay with. We ended up coming to the same conclusion, albeit by different routes. I decided that buying a bus was something I really wanted to do in my life and that I don’t know when I would pull it off if not now. My fiancé said that I was right as far as if not now, then when? So I made the plunge….12 days ago which is where my negligence on this post comes in. I bought a 1978 International Loadstar 1700 School Bus. I am afraid. I am afraid of all of the things that could go wrong, but I am also so excited. I’m excited because I have finally done something a little crazy and something that is entirely what I want to do, rather than what I think I am supposed to do. Even if I fail, this will be an event in my life that I will never forget, and I will never regret. So with no further ado, allow me to introduce my bus.
