Editorial Review: Product Description: Where would your dream take you if you had a whole year to just travel? But perhaps you’re thinking, "if I only knew how to start planning my adventure!" This detailed "how-to" guide will get you moving from the dreaming to the doing in no time at all. Included is step-by-step, real-life information on planning the trip you’ve always wanted to take -- along with generous doses of humor and advice on topics such as: * How to pay for a year away from home * How to unravel all your current commitments – to family, work, and organizations * How to plan on the fly and enjoy every day * How to pack in 3 small drawers and 24" of closet space – for two! * How to handle the emergencies that crop up along the way * And the most asked question: How to enjoy your traveling companion on a 24/7 basis! Once you’ve decided to "leave it all behind", Live Your Road Trip Dream takes you along on an action-packed, whirlwind tour of the authors’ trip – just to help you visualize what months on the road might really be like, and to offer a glimpse into how decisions and discoveries are made along the way. This is the ultimate road trip planning guide. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Robert H. Mottram, Author - In Search of America's Heartbeat: Twelve Months on the RoadWe liked the way the Whites organized their book; approximately half of it a how-to for people wanting to hit the road themselves, the rest of it a narrative account of the Whites' own road trip through America to give the reader a taste of what it is like to be footloose and free on America's highways.

The authors decribe intending to be "full timers" for a year with only incidental trips home for holidays and emergencies. They describe the evaluation in purchasing an rv and provide plans for living at camp grounds. But they stayed in hotels 4 to 5 nights a week and ate at restaurants even more often. So it's really about their road trip to see the contiguous states in a year, how they planned & ...

Phil and Carol White have found the perfect balance in crystallizing the dream, planning the "plot," and journaling the journey. In this second edition of their award winning, how to - planning guide, the Whites have included new sections with suggestions for taking sabbaticals, working on the road, ... Read More Rating: - A jumpstart for the ultimate road trip!"Live Your Road Trip Dream" provides comprehensive, well-rounded coverage of topics that need to be addressed when embarking on such a grand adventure. While the authors' experience was with RVing, the book supplies helpful info to anyone planning a cross-country trek. The book is part practical how-to, don't-forget-to nitty gritty, and part journal jottings of the travelers' take on one U.S. locale after another; you can feel the curiosity, exhilaration, and even the exhaustion(!) of their undertaking. ...
