My blog “Did Someone Say RV Road Trip?”  www.glotours.blogspot.com

  chronicles the transition from being a career road warrior to living fulltime in an RV Prevost motorcoach/bus conversion and includes tales of my travel experiences like the “honeymoon” suite at Roger’s Rock State Park in New York, off-season travel in the Gaspe, a bloodless bullfight in Texas where the bull refused to fight, and more.

There are actually two reasons why I decided to start a travel blog:

One reason is that I would eventually like to write a book about traveling fulltime in our RV, and a blog seemed like a good way to get started.  I believe that I can expand many of the experiences shared on my blog to create a fun read eventually. 

My second reason for deciding to write a blog is simply to stay connected with friends and family while on our Grand Tour of the US & Canada.     A blog is a natural release for my creative energy and a wonderful way for friends and family read about my current travel experiences without spending hours on the phone.

I use Blogspot.  The advantages are that it is easy to use.  Posting and editing are simple too.

Because I am on the road, I use Verizon Wireless Broadband Access to connect to the Internet.  In remote areas, my access to the Internet is sometimes limited so I may have to wait a few days before adding a new post to my blog.  It can also be frustrating when I lose the Internet connection while downloading photos.  I try to have a reliable signal before adding a photo.  I also have learned to write my text in Word, save it to my laptop, and then cut and paste it to my blog.  I once lost my Internet connection and a consequently a blog entry because I wrote it online and had not saved it.  I am happiest when I have access to wireless services at campgrounds.  The connection is usually reliable, and I do not have to wait my turn for using the Verizon device that Ed and I share.

I write my blogs in the morning between 5 AM and 7 AM with a morning coffee and before my husband starts moving around the coach – we live in a 40’ x 8’ motorcoach/bus conversion.  Typically, I write on the day after we have explored a destination, this amounts to 2 – 3 times a week.
