Closest I will get to full timing

Great to hear that it's going well. I wish I were along for the ride!

Ray,

Thanks. I know you still work, like we do. Internet connection has been a little challenging , but we are getting work done. Most of the people we work with have no idea we are not at home. So far so good.
We are using 2 data cards, wifi when available and even trying a instant on DSL here. But, the little bit of trouble staying connected, is worth be able to travel and see new things.

Indeed it must be worth it. When I had my large satellite dish, I was able to work anywhere reliably. However, at $150/mo (minimum) for service, it was way too pricey, especially for only using it a couple of times a year. I use cellular now, and want to get the external antenna and amp the Lloyd recommends. But, for the most part, cellular is getting better. Obviously, there are some areas that won't work, but I try to avoid that.

Keep us informed of your travels. Love to hear how it's going. Are you going to make it into Southern CA?

[ajducote]

Ray,

No trip to CA this time. The furthest west we will make is Wiliams, AZ. We have an internal amp and external antenna and it really helps. But with a 5GB limit on each data card, we have to be careful. Two of our work computers seems to be constantly downloading "required" updates. But we make it all work out. Cell coverage is getting a lot better.

OK Andre! We'll catch you on another trip then .... Best of Luck. Safe Travels.

So far things have gone very well. Our biggest issue is staying connected to the internet for work. The best most reliable way has been thru the Verizon data card. RV park Wi-Fi is very hit or miss, but we have been able to use it to some degree. We have been able to do enough site seeing on weekends to make the trip more then worth the effort. But that Monday thru Friday work stuff sure gets in the way of having fun!

Hope to get to Pikes Peak this weekend and then see other things in the area as time allows.

Safe Travels to all.
