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

Spooky Savannah
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.
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.
