Posted by: vw bug at June 26, 2005 09:17 PMGood luck, and have fun on the road trip!
one small request though.... if you have the time, can you set a prewritten blog statement to appear once per day, detailing anything? Maybe just where you expect to be that day. I found it fun when I did that on my vacation last May, and if nothing else, the possible unmoderated comments could be interesting.
Posted by: Bill at June 27, 2005 12:10 AMDon't over do it on the move! Try not to let small problems overwhelm you. Everytime I've had to move there is always a plethora of small problems that on their own are nothing, but add up to being really annoying.
