Note: Since all we have done the last few days is fill boxes in preparation for our move to Alabama, I thought I’d repost a blog about how far technology has come since we became fulltime RVers way back in 1999. No, we didn’t always have WiFi and cell phones that work as hotspots, and […]
As I’ve said many times, there is no more beautiful place on earth than the Oregon coast. But one big drawback for a lot of RVers is the difficulty of getting online in many places. The combination of having few cell towers outside of the larger towns and the rough terrain makes getting a signal […]
My friend John Huggins from Living the RV Dream is a lot more technically inclined than I am, and the other night when we were having dinner with John and his pretty wife Kathy, we were talking about how far technology has come in the 15 years we’ve been fulltime RVers. No, we didn’t always […]

Yesterday was one of those days where we had some success, as well as frustration, to temper the mood. Our billing period for Verizon ends on the 19th of every month. I knew that we were getting close to our 5 GB limit on our Mifi, so we stopped using it a couple of days […]
