Hankering To Travel Again

I am currently in Louisiana, about two miles from the Mississippi River. It is a beautiful area with many new experiences for me.

But I have found myself making lists of what I want and need in my vehicle to travel. I like to see what's down the road and learn how people live, play, and enjoy life. I recognize the call of the open road.

I have just laid out a lot of money on items for flea marketing. I also have my trusty Clark's Guide that lists many of the flea markets all over the United States. I have sorted through my clothes and have one large bin of jeans. Jeans are a good seller in almost any flea market. I have many other things that are useful in a RV, but not so useful when you downsize.

I have been clarifying my thoughts on what is necessary to me and my life. I have yet to be convinced that electrical appliances and electric is a necessity. 

On my last road trip (camping), I had two small led flashlights powered by batteries, a small led headlamp, a grill converted from gas to wood, some food, a tent, and a bunch of blankets. This time, I am thinning down the items I carry. I have also upgraded flashlights and chargeable items.

I have almost the perfect computer and internet setup for what I need and want to do. I have recently switched my internet to a usb broadband stick with Millinicom as the provider. I am impressed by how easy it is to use and how reasonable it is in price. Add to that a monthly fee for netflix and huluplus, and I have a world of entertainment as well as information at my fingertips.
