Overview

Written with a positive “you can do it too” attitude and generous doses of humor and insight, this best-selling, award-winning book has just been released in its e-book edition with even more resources for the serious road tripper. Known as the ultimate road trip planner, this "how-to" guide is loaded with tips, humor and tested advice, as well as budgets, packing lists, itineraries and more. If you've ever dreamed of just taking off on an extended trip, but weren't sure how to make it happen, this book tackles everything from the psychological issues (what about the grand kids or elderly parents?) to the practical issues (what about the house, cars, bills) and provides a glimpse at what being on the road for an extended time might really be like. Beth Harpaz, Travel Editor, Associated Press, calls it "practical and inspirational."

About the Author

The Whites have had the good fortune to retire from the everyday work world, and now help others make their dreams happen. The trip detailed in their award-winning book, Live Your Road Trip Dream, was a year in the talking, learning, researching and planning stages, and a year in the execution of the actual adventure.

During Phil’s 26-year career, he was the small-business owner of a retail men’s clothing store. Carol comes from the other end of the sales and marketing spectrum, having retired from Lucent Technologies, in 1999. Her 35 years in the computing and telecommunications fields with Lucent and AT&T have gained her a wealth of experience. Both Phil and Carol are graduates of Portland State University, Portland, Oregon.

Live Your Road Trip Dream – Travel for a year for the cost of staying home has become the ultimate “how-to” road trip planning guide and has won numerous industry awards, including the Publisher’s Marketing Association’s prestigious Benjamin Franklin Award.

Phil and Carol have presented seminars of various lengths on this topic in such diverse settings as AARP’s Life@50+ national convention, The Great North American RV Rally, bookstores, community centers, AAA, athletic clubs, and community college adult education classes. In 2007, the Whites were named as National Spokespeople for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) to represent the baby boomer audience. Carol is also a frequent speaker on publishing topics for aspiring authors. She has spoken at PMA-University in 2005 and 2008, to the Bay Area Publishers, and on several occasions to NWABP and PNBA.

Articles about the Whites and their experiences have appeared in many publications including USA Today.com, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, ABCNews.com, and RoadTripAmerica.com. They have also appeared in many RVing publications including Escapees, Family Motor Coaching, RV Companion, Woodall’s CamperWays, Coast-to-Coast and RV Life. They are also frequent guests on radio and TV across the US and Canada and enjoy sharing their “can do” attitude and travel tips with people.

When they are not traveling, Phil and Carol enjoy golf, community activities, Yoga, and most of all their ten grandchildren.
