Showtime!
Gates the go getter.
Mood.
The revolution will be televised.
Calling all the baddies.
Back on her bullshit.
Oh weeeeee!
No can do.
Watch your money.
This sounds like such a lovely way to begin a road trip! Staying in Ventura seems like a great choice, especially with the opportunity to reconnect with people Shane knew during his mission. Catching up over dinner must have made the first day even more memorable. I also love the simple detail about picking up fresh oranges, as those little local experiences often become part of the best travel memories. Planning transportation in advance, such as arranging a Materuni waterfall for another adventure, can similarly make a trip much more relaxed and enjoyable.
