Dreamin! Live Your Road Trip Dream - March, 2007 EZezine


 

Have you learned "The Secret?" 

The enormous success of this simple idea continues to baffle me.   It is the notion of putting your energy, thoughts, actions and intentions towards things that you want to have happen in your life. 

There, I just saved you the price of the book!

Any of us who have taken off and traveled for an extended period know the power of “The Secret.”  You just can’t pull off a big trip or lifestyle change without a lot of positive thoughts and actions towards the goal.  But once you do move your intentions and energy towards making your dream happen, it is amazing how many things start falling into place – attracting positive energy towards your goal – or some such fancy wording in the book!

The “Law of Attraction” has been around since biblical times, but the powerful message of believing that you can make something happen in your life and actually doing it is extremely energizing. 

Without even knowing about "The Secret," those are the primary messages in “Live Your Road Trip Dream”.  We just take it to the next level – actually helping you figure out all the things that you need to put positive energy around to make your own trip a reality.

This month we’re sending you more positive energy towards making your dreams happen.  We certainly have done it – and continue to do it for ourselves. So can you.

What a coup!  ... and so exciting!

This is something that we’ve been putting our energy and intentions around for over two years.  It has finally happened.

Phil and Carol White, authors of "Live Your Road Trip Dream," have been chosen as National Spokespeople for 2007 for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Assn (RVIA). 

In their new capacity they will speak to the media on RV-related topics.  The Whites were chosen to represent the baby boomer demographic who now owns more RVs than any other group.  The average income of today's boomer "Nature Lover" is $93,000 and a 2004 survey by Woodall's estimates that RVers spent more than $3.8 billion in local communities where they visited.

The Whites are an active empty nester couple who will appeal to the huge baby boomer market. They will promote the fun and freedom of RV travel in media appearances throughout the Northeast this September, starting with an appearance at the annual AARP convention in Boston from September 6-8.

Last month we asked about summer plans.  Here are a couple of the responses from all of you. One couple who is working on the road, and one who is working to get on the road!  Both are great ways of putting your "intentions and effort" towards making your dream happen.

Working on the Road

Dear Carol and Phil,

Our plans for this summer is simple - continue our research in the Pacific-Northwest Region, this year it will be focused on Washington state's National Forests.  We'll be on the road from mid-May and not return home until mid-October.  Can't wait to see what the Forest's are like up there.  Any suggestions on things to see or do that are close to those national forests? Have you visited www.roadsideamerica.com?  Good fun.

Tips we always give to folks planning an extend road-trip -

-  Research as much as you can before you leave, than ask the locals lots questions, and seriously consider their suggestions trumping all your planning;

-  Don't forget your camera, but send yourself post cards (highly recommended as a child's activity); and,

-  Bring a suitcase full of patience and a truckload of humor -- both will be needed and help to keep the FUN in your trip.

 Enjoy your newsletter and appreciate your efforts, - Suzi Dow

Working at Getting on the Road

Carol  -

I thought that you might be a great person to tell about how my husband and I have put our business/home on the market, so that we can get on the road as quickly as possible, now that our canine kid has bone cancer and we don't have much time left with him.

Here's the website we've set up for more information:

So, if you run into anyone who wants to escape the rat race and run a great web-based printing and graphic design business in a small town, by all means, please send them our way! - Rene




Here is a cute travel motto


This clever saying was created by Tim Leffel, Editor of Perceptive Travel - a wonderful Travel Magazine made up of travelers the world over.  Tim has several products (shirts, mugs, etc.) with this saying on them.  Thought you might enjoy this.

 

 

Have you visited RVTravel.com?

One of the really complete websites about RV travel is run by Chuck Woodbury.  Chuck maintains the RV Bookstore, RV Travel and several other well designed road trip sites.  Be careful, you'll find yourself spending hours lost in all his information!

We are always anxious to hear from our readers and friends about how we are doing.

 

Question of the month:  What is your favorite travel website?

 

Always feel free to email us with your road trip questions or tips, or thoughts about the book.  We’ll be printing some of your comments in the months to come.

 

Where have your dreams taken you?

 

Please send us your travel pictures taken on your road trip dream.  We want to share stories of trips that were inspired by reading Live Your Road Trip Dream – Travel for a year for the cost of staying home.

Until next time.. Keep Dreaming...
