After 32 hrs on the road we made it back to Durness Way in Houston. Sans problems. Halleluia! 2 days later we are still severely jet-lagged with 4 members of the household on 4 different schedules.
Trip One-Liner: Real memory-maker trip, which exceeded all expectations on all fronts
What about the missing blog entries and pictures? Gotta let it go! Can't go back and re-create all that now. Contact me, if you want the link to the full set of pics on KodakGallery.
LAST Trip Blogger Learnings for the record:
1. Devise an offline capture mechanism, so you can keep it going even when disconnected from the network. Spontaneous thoughts and comments are the best. Tedious recreations of events lose their spark
2. Blogging is more limiting than journaling. Lots of thoughts I would have put in a journal, where I controlled readership, that I didn't feel free to put in a public blog. So this didn't really replace the trip logs that we have done in the past, as I thought it might.
3. Send out a note in advance to everyone you want to share with, and explain to them the process for engaging. Don't expect everyone to just "get it". They don't always.
4. Set up a link to a photo album, or consider using a photoblog, if this might be better than a text focused blog.
5. Practice, practice before going public .... read some other blogs and get some tips on how they do this, styles, approaches, etc.
6. Make printouts of key screens in color in English interface to take with you, so you can easily navigate any language interface you encounter.
Thanks to Rhonda, Betsy and Karen for joining me on this ride ... Let's do some more of this in the future!
Signing out, Lynn & The Krausteads
