The holidays are upon us I don't know about you, but this time of year makes me groan. So many decisions to be made, so many activities, and so many demands on our time.
Since we went on our year long trip, we have actually become better consumers and gift-givers. We found that we didn't really need so many "things" to be happy, and we found that memories are more important than "stuff". We really try to make that a focus with our grandchildren -- taking them places, rather than overdoing the gifts throughout the year-- they all have so much, it seems, anyway.
As we gather for Thanksgiving with our families near and far, we hope you will remember to make memories. They never wear out and they last a lifetime.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Phil and Carol White

The Good Sam Club touts Live Your Road Trip Dream
The November Cyber-Sam newsletter had a very nice review of the book, along with a link to our website for a special "Good Sam discount" price. This was a great piece of publicity that resulted in many more people getting our encouragement on living their dream.
Many thanks to The Good Sam Club!
If you missed the Cyber-Sam issue and are a Good Sam member, email me your club number and I'll give you the discount code!

There are lots of ways to live your dream In October, I attended a publisher's conference in Denver, Colorado, and was once again reminded how many variations there are in people's idea of the perfect dream trip.
I met Lars Clausen at the conference. He is a Lutheran minister in Chelan, Washington and his book is One Wheel - Many Spokes. Yes, he traveled the states on a unicycle! His adventure included:
The book is a lively read -- and quite a twist on what most of us envision for our road trip dream. You can read more at his website.
