In 2008 we wandered around Europe for a few weeks. Every few days we sent updates in emails to our friends and family and I put updates on UKGSer (here) and on a couple of other web sites I frequent. Writing the updates and picking the photos to put in there was the fun bit but posting it in various places became a bit time consuming and a chore if I'm honest as it's not simply a cut and paste job.
This time I thought I'd be a bit more organised so I set up a blog area on our web site with the intention of posting the link on sites where I'd previously posted updates. I figured that way we'd only have to do one set of updates and anyone who wanted to read them could.
Reading this:
in the vendor forum and the thread on ADVRider has given me pause for thought. It hadn't occurred to me that such a pointer could/would be viewed as spam. I'm a bit hesitant to post this now but I will anyway! You can castigate me later if it's not the done thing.
We head for the US on Saturday and will be wandering for a few weeks. Our GSA will be waiting for us when we arrive (hopefully!) although we won't be able to get it until Monday as the customs office is closed.
Our current plan is to spend a few days with friends after we land in San Diego, head for the East Coast, wander up through Washington to Pittsburgh after which we'll be busy for a couple of weeks, we'll then pay short visits to friends in Connecticut and Ontario then wander back to the west coast again visiting places we fancy visiting on the way.
We have quite a list of places we'd like to see and we're not going to have time to see them all but we anticipate some high mileage days to get to places, some days just meandering and enjoying the view and some days where we don't get on the bike at all.
If you're interested, we'll be posting updates to our blog - http://www.thewellers.net/blog/ (posted that way so you can see where it goes) and there is a link to our Spot track in the menu.

It's all good to me. I post my ride reports on my blog so I can easily link it to different forums I use. This appears to have pissed of some folk on ADVrider though!
