Our ten year road trip

When I retired on 04/04/04 I sold the house, bought a really big RV, and started out on a road trip to see the country. It was a fabulous life style and my wife and I loved every minute of our time as tourists. I wrote a monthly newsletter, complete with pictures, for family and friends as we moved around. Now I find myself with 115 emails describing all the places we went and what we saw and did.

If you are thinking of going some place, or seeing some thing or event, drop me an email and I'll send you the newsletter that talks about our experience with that place or event.

    It is very easy to record ones travels by using a web based blog platform. I use Google blogger. It is free and easy to use. I write more when we are in a travel mode and less when we are moving less frequently. I try to make weekly post at a minimum. It makes it easy to let family or friends know what we are up to. I have been surprised at the number of readers who read my blog and how diverse geographically they are. I recommend that anyone who is a full-time ever maintain a blog. I haven't mentioned how much you can learn by reading blogs.

    We've been on the road since 2005. But since we're working, we sometimes have trouble finding interesting sites to see during weekends, especially if we're having bad weather.

    I started a Free Blog for family, but because of boring places or bad/slow internet speed, have kind of let it slide.

    I'd be interested in reading your travel blog for Future trips. We're now only 3 years away from Retirement. Where we get to choose the places we visit.
