This
is an article I wrote about the summer of 2003 that I spent in Alaska. It was
truly an adventure of a lifetime and taught me a lot about myself in the process.
My 78 year old mother joined me for the trip back down the Cassiar Highway and
we both still cry in joy whenever we think about all the things we experienced
on that trip. Click the link above or the pic to read the article.

One
of the things I really enjoyed about my time in Savannah was having
the chance to explore its beautiful historic squares in the downtown
area. Another of Savannah's claim to fame is its being named one
of America's most haunted cities. It was a lot of fun taking the
"Ghosts and Gravestones" tour and going on a "Creepy
Crawl" through the spooky streets. This article appeared in
the October 2007 issue of Motorhome Magazine. Click cover to read.
This
article appeared in their Spring, 2007 issue. I shared some of the benefits and
adventures I've found in solo RVing in my motorhome and answered a question I'm
often asked about how hard it is for a woman to get started traveling alone in
this way: "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible, and
suddenly you are doing the impossible."
Don't
let fear stop you from following your dreams The kind of question
I am often asked about my fulltiming solo is "Aren't you ever afraid?"
My answer: "You betcha - the full on shaking-in-my-boots kind of afraid!"
Don't
You Ever Get Lonely? That's a popular question from women who are
considering going on the road with an RV. Here's what I feel.
Besides
enjoying keeping up my websites, internet connection is a must for me. It gives
me easy ability to keep in touch with those I love. And I love being able to research
whatever I want to, whenever I want to, for as long as I want to. When I first
started RVing in 2001, about the only option available was the excrutiating timed
dialup connections at RV park offices. In 2004 I opted for a Direcway satellite
tripod system. I learned how to set it up alright, but it wasn't always easy and
I couldn't just pull into a rest area on the road and check email. Since June,
2006, I've been using a Verizon air card and have found that a whole lot easier
to deal with at the same monthly price as for satellite. Only once couldn't I
get a signal when I probably could have with the satellite, but so far it's still
my preference.
