Tips for a long roadtrip?
I am going on a nice long roadtrip. I have a new car, ready for a ton of
miles, and I have some camping equipment to use along the way. This trip may last several months, and most of it spent in my car or walking around the places I visit. I have a nestegg to pay for it, but was also thinking of doing a little work on the side to help pay for the trip. Anyone have some tidbits of wisdom or advise? |

of citizenship? What kind of work are you willing to do? On Sat, 16 Apr 2005, Yo wrote: I am going on a nice long roadtrip.

I'm American, and plan to mostly visit the united states, but might visit a couple of spots in Canada. As for work, I could fix computers. However, finding people that would trust a traveling techie might be a problem. In the US, most short term on-the-spot jobs are for things like fruit picking, construction, or gardening. I agree that you're not likely to find a computer job without local references and a possibly lengthy hiring process. |

I don't know whether you want tips on places to visit, to avoid, or how you might save money, or helpful books to buy, or whether you want to know if AAA is worth joining, or .... |

I would take some books on tape or cd to listen to while driving. They are
cheap at a half price or used bookstore. I have some family members that do a lot of road trips and they have their laptop with a GPS system and then antenna on car. It has come in handy many times. I think it might be nice to have a book of cheap lodging places or bed/breakfasts. People living in the area might clue you into some really unique places to visit that aren't in the typical guidebooks. "Yo" wrote in message ... I am going on a nice long roadtrip.
