Welcome to my Blog!

It's an itty-bitty blog!
I'm sure that Chris won't mind me borrowing this photo from her Blog, Geeks On Tour. I attended her session this week at the FMCA (Family Motor Coach Assn.) and created a Blog on my iPhone, right in the class! Great session, and one of the items on my list to check out this week at the Southern Homecoming Reunion in Perry, Georgia.


Geoff is in his element
What a great time we had meeting new friends, exploring the world of RVing and learning more about how to operate and maintain our Newmar Mountain Aire. My husband, Geoff, concentrated on the coach and I focused on technology.  I learned quickly that I can't rely on the WiFi network to be in communication for business.  After a week of frustration trying to e-mail attachments, contracts (yes I was on vacation, but...) I attended two seminars, one by Geeks On Tour and another by Phil May, TechnoRV. Both a wealth of information. The outcome was a purchase of Verizon Wireless Broadband WiFi2000 Hotspot, which allows 5 connections at a time in the RV. I have been working since we left Perry and so far we are approaching Florence SC and I haven't lost the signal once! Those of you who know me know that when my technology works everyone around me is happier. At Phil's suggestion I also acquired a WiFi Booster for those times that WiFi is available and Verizon isn't!

"Wake me up when we get there!"
Yoshi has also adapted well to life on the road and is quickly becoming a Canine Road Warrior. We will all be back in West Chester next week to begin our preparations in earnest for life on the road beginning in August. If you want to keep up with our adventure please feel free to subscribe to this blog. (I will be discontinuing my previous blog as this is more flexible and easier.)
That's it for now.   We're "northbound and down."
Laura, Geoff & Yoshi
