Boomers, Gen-Xers, Seniors and more everyone has a dream of that long trip that they ve had in the back of their mind. If so many dream it, why do so few do it?
Authors Phil and Carol White believe it is not only fear of the unknown, but more importantly, inertia. It takes a fair amount of thinking and planning to take off for an extended period says Carol, but the rewards of working through your issues and actually getting out of town to see our country or another place, will be with you forever. Don t wait for some other time start planning now.
The White s award-winning, how-to book, Live Your Road Trip Dream is now released in its second edition after a very successful three printings of the first edition. Due to the popularity of road tripping, but not just amongst the retired set, the White s have included expanded coverage of topics of interest to the younger generation.
Today s younger generations aren t waiting until retirement to hit the road says Phil, they want to do it now if they can figure out how. With our expanded sections on sabbaticals, working on the road and road-schooling for children, we ve covered many of the topics that we get asked about frequently.
And the Whites do get asked often. As National Spokespersons for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, they speak at such prestigious conferences as AARP s Life@50+, and attend national conventions like The Good Sam Club s Great North American RV Rally, and talk to the press frequently as experts on road tripping. The Whites are also frequent guests on TV and radio and have been featured speakers for AAA in their home state of Oregon.
Live Your Road Trip Dream is more than an inspiring adventure, more than an information-packed how-to guide to help you turn your personal travel dream into reality it is the ultimate handbook to turn your wanderlust into action.

Robert H. Mottram, Author - In Search of America's Heartbeat: Twelve Months on the Road:
We liked the way the Whites organized their book; approximately half of it a how-to for people wanting to hit the road themselves, the rest of it a narrative account of the Whites' own road trip through America to give the reader a taste of what it is like to be footloose and free on America's highways. The Whites' trip was a bit like our own In Search Of America's Heartbeat. In fact, we visited a few of the same places, although we saw them through different eyes and often took away different experiences... more info
Excellent primer for an extended roadtrip:
This is an excellent primer for a very extended road trip, but it's not about being an rv full timer. The authors decribe intending to be "full timers" for a year with only incidental trips home for holidays and emergencies. They describe the evaluation in purchasing an rv and provide plans for living at camp grounds. But they stayed in hotels 4 to 5 nights a week and ate at restaurants even more often.
So it's really about their road trip to see the contiguous states in a year, how they planned &... more info
From Planning the Dream to Putting Rubber to the Road:
Before even finishing "Live Your Road Trip Dream" I had moved to the computer and was making plans for an extended summer trip visiting all the lighthouses standing guard over Lake Michigan's shore line. Phil and Carol White have found the perfect balance in crystallizing the dream, planning the "plot," and journaling the journey. In this second edition of their award winning, how to - planning guide, the Whites have included new sections with suggestions for taking sabbaticals, working on the road,... more info
A jumpstart for the ultimate road trip!:
"Live Your Road Trip Dream" provides comprehensive, well-rounded coverage of topics that need to be addressed when embarking on such a grand adventure. While the authors' experience was with RVing, the book supplies helpful info to anyone planning a cross-country trek. The book is part practical how-to, don't-forget-to nitty gritty, and part journal jottings of the travelers' take on one U.S. locale after another; you can feel the curiosity, exhilaration, and even the exhaustion(!) of their... more info
