3: Times I've changed my underwear
4: Cups of camp coffee consumed
5: Nights slept in the car on our gymnastics mat (so cozy!)
6: Vegetarian meals made using our refrigerator, gasoline-powered stove, and swing-out bumper with foldout table

9: (x100) Total miles driven
10: Times Ashwin has gone in and out of the roof box for our gear (thanks, babe. i'll drive more.)
