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, few months later we came back and did the trip westbound sticking further to the north. And we did a blog which appeared on GNN, Global Network Navigator, a pioneering website put together by those pioneering computer book publishers O’Reilly Associates. I’ve dug that ancient trip out of the LP archives and you can find it as Coast to Coast by Cadillac.
