DDG creeps into the 21st Century

In 1999 MMG and I retired and took our first "lap of America" trip.

We were so in awe of what we saw and experienced that we began sharing our trip via email to our two young grandsons and a very few of our friends.

Well, friends and family shared with other friends and more family and before long we had been asked to share our daily messages with a pretty large email list.

Since then we have made several more "laps" and continued the emails, adding pictures, first as attachments and lately, in a technological leap, embedding the pictures in the body of the email. Ever on the cutting edge, I even learned to downsize the pictures!

Another technological wonder has been our realization that rather than wear my fingers to the bone typing descriptions and histories of what we're seeing, I can embed links to internet sites that give far better descriptions and information than I.

Enough of our friends and family have asked why we don't "do a blog" instead of emails that I have finally been embarrassed into giving it a shot. Here it is!

MMG and I are planning to leave in the motorhome Thursday, headed West!, first to meet some internet friends ( http://www.rvforum.net ) at a RV campground north of San Antonio, then following Spring northward until we reach Yellowstone National Park at the end of May.

Beyond that broad plan, our itinerary is exceptionally fluid, but we are planning to be back home by early July.

We hope you will enjoy travelling along with us!
