Happy: We all love a good party and
being RVers, that often amounts to a rolling
party. Whether you like to go on commercial
caravans, club caravans or travel with several
friends, your travel style will be affected.
Preparing for this in advance makes your trip

a Travel Nurse! This site matches skilled
medical professionals with short-term assignments
around the USA. We ran a couple of searches
and found numerous positions offering both travel

Network: This is an interesting service
where folks needing to transport furniture,
artwork etc. will pay road trippers to transport
the packages around the country. On the day
we posted this link there were a couple hundred
"offers" posted from about thirty
states. "Offers" are the amount that
shippers are willing to pay drivers to deliver
the shipments. The Network charges a 8% transaction
fee to meet its expenses. We aren't sure how
well it works - but the concept is very interesting.

and a Movie: On
the road entertainment. A roadtripping purist
might insist that a glorious fire-red sunset
is as good as it ever gets, but we've always
enjoyed movies as an occasional escape. Going
to a theatre is not always possible for dashboarders
on the move, and although chains like Blockbuster
have offered nationwide movie rentals for several
years, a trip back to the same store to make
returns is not always convenient. Fortunately,

RV Adventure: Those who already know
that Baja California is a fantastic place for
a road trip will probably be irritated by John
Holod's Baja RV Adventure video. They'd
rather preserve the common view that the long
skinny peninsula south of San Diego is a barren
wasteland. They'd like to keep secret that Baja
is actually a place of astonishingly diverse
beauty, culture, and history, not to mention
some of the most exotic wildlife this side of
the Galapagos Islands. There are world-class
RV resorts, too, along with hip tourist towns,
colorful cantinas, and great restaurants. Baja
