In July we were back on the road and teaching our seminars at the FMCA rally in Indianapolis. We're traveling in our new little Roadtrek camper van and we're loving it. There are so many places we can go and stay that weren't feasible with the big rig, it makes us very excited. Yes, it’s a lot
smaller than we were used to, but it has everything in it and we are figuring it out. The photo above is from a winery in Ontario, Canada. We knew of this overnight parking spot because of our membership in HarvestHosts.com. We always continue to learn about technology! And, we share it with you on our live weekly class, What Does This Button Do? We did 2 live shows from the front seats of our camper van! By the way, our pictures, Blogs, Web Albums, maps, and videos are all examples of what we
teach. You can learn how to plan, preserve, and share your travels (or your life.) It makes the experience that much more enjoyable to get creative and share pictures, maps, stories, and movies with friends and family. Check out our Learning Library of Tutorial Videos, just go to GeeksOnTour.com and click the menu for Tutorial Videos. There are plenty of free videos in
addition to our members-only content to whet your appetite for learning. |

We just spend a week in Canada, traveling from Detroit thru Toronto and Kingston, then back across the border to Syracuse New York. We’re here in Syracuse for the FMCA NE Area Rally. While in Canada, we were able to get enough Internet access with our mobile devices (on
TMobile and Project Fi) to do our normal email, uploading photos, Facebook and blog posts, but we didn’t have enough to do do our weekly webcast of What Does This Button Do. |

Google Maps, Want-to-Go, Boondockers Welcome |
Where to go? What to do? Where to stay? Those are the questions we ask ourselves in between rallies. We arrange our RV travel according to the rallies where we need to be to teach our seminars. Sometimes we have 2 days between rallies, sometimes we have 2 months. They’re always in the same quadrant of the country because we refuse to book rallies that make us
drive back and forth across the country. |

Your Travel Map with RVillage |
If you’re a traveler, you probably love maps. I love to have maps of where I’ve been and we teach how to make
these maps using Google My Maps. But, if you are an RVer, and you use RVillage.com, it’s a lot easier. RVillage automatically creates a map of everywhere you check in. Here are the Geeks on Tour maps from RVillage for the last 4 years. Notice the date selection boxes at the top left of each map. |

What's a vignette, you ask? It's where you just darken the outside edge of a picture so that it stands out. It's a very soft frame. Here is a recent flower photo I took: |
