We started November in Moline, Illinois at the Quad-Cities Computer Society. We did a new seminar for them titled, "Travel the Globe with a Smartphone and Google Photos." We wanted a reason to show off some of
our Europe photos and to teach how we used Google Photos to create that photo album as we went. When we left Illinois, we had just a couple days to get back to Florida. In Gainesville, Jim put Chris on a plane to Mountain View California for the Google Top Contributors Summit, then he attended a Roadtrek rally at Payne's Prairie State park. When the Summit was over, Jim was waiting at the Gainesville
airport at midnight to collect me. We decided to just stay in the airport parking lot for the night. We so enjoy the greater flexibility that traveling in the Roadtrek gives us! No way we could have parked the big RV there.
From there it was on to home, getting settled in for the winter, and upgrading our webcasting studio to use green-screen effects.
- Episode 128 Keep your Google Account Safe
- Episode 129: Behind the scenes: Lights, Camera, Sound in our webcasting studio
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. |

Every RVer needs Allstays Camp & RV |
It was very distressing to learn that the essential Allstays Camp and RV app had been removed from the Google Play store. With a few extra dollars and a little bit of know-how, it now works better than ever on my Android devices. This article includes a video to show you how

The best travel laptop? A Chromebook |
When we traveled for a month thru Italy and Croatia this summer, the only computer I took with me was a Chromebook. I’ve been asked for a report on how it worked out.
The first week of our trip I was in a writer’s workshop, and there was little to no Wi-Fi available. I used my Chromebook, offline, to do all my writing. I used Google Docs that is built in to the
Chromebook to do the writing. Read the article and watch the video about my Chromebook. |
