Travel Blogs
These days everybody’s doing one, but I reckon I did one of the first travel blogs. Back in 1994 the Wheeler family travelled from San Francisco to Boston in a 1959 Cadillac – big tails fins, a cigarette lighter for every seat and no brakes to speak of. We did that eastbound trip on a southerly route, a few months later we came back and did the trip westbound sticking further to the north. And we did a blog ...
Here's a list of my travel blogs on this site:
