Welcome RV-DREAMS.COM Reader's
Only 2 States Left to Fill.

Today's post gets a dual title. Thanks to Howard from Rv-Dreams posting a link to our blog (BTW, you're welcome, Howard, for the Streets and Trip recommendation for building maps! Isn't it great?) our readership took a really big jump this week. We only need to get a hit from North Dakota and Delaware to have readers in all 50 states! We only need Newfoundland, Northwest Territories and Yukon to complete the Canadian Provinces (but, does anybody really live up there anyway? )

Here is what our readership map looks like now. California took the top spot with 25 readers; Just edging out our home state of Michigan with 22. It only took 1 month to get here! I'm still amazed and fascinated at way it has grown.

Now for the other part of today's title. Welcome readers of Howard and Linda's journal. We're glad you stopped by to check us out.

First, a little history. Like Howard and Linda I tired of the corporate world and Laura was just flat out burned out on her job. So we gave up the rat race in October 2005 and hit the road. Unlike Howard and Linda, we consider ourselves 'part-time' full-timers. We plan on being on the road for 3 years to 5 years to find a new and exciting place to settle down and seek out new careers.

Some things that are different about our site from rv-dreams. Our site is just a web journal of our travels. We don't have info to get you started, links or other valuable information. My view on this is there are a lot of different places for potential and future full-timers to seek out the information they need (rv-dreams being one of the better ones!) Plus, I've read about how much time Howard spends working on his website and I just can't bring myself to do it ;) Plus I'm still working on the road as an independent food broker, and we have some side businesses we are starting, but that's for a future post.

Similar to Rv-dreams, we enjoy sharing our journey with others. We hope we can provide people with an honest idea of what life on the road is like. The good, the bad, the ugly, the unkown and the exciting; We present it to you and let you decide for yourself if full-timing is right for you.

We hope we have intrigued some you, the curious and potential full-timers both. We Thank-you for stopping by and hope you will stay with us as we journey around the country. We always encourage e-mails with questions, your suggestions and comments.

Oh, and if you know anyone from either North Dakota or Delaware, please have them give us a click through, so I can fill in the map!
