Only thing I can add is to pack a phone charger for the car - my phone always seems to be dead when I need it the most.<BR/><BR/>Jane Kennedy Sutton<BR/>http://janekennedysutton.blogspot.com/<BR/>https://twitter.com/janesutton/Jane Kennedy Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519340747761460017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-81320275809668662662009-02-12T21:00:00.000-05:002009-02-12T21:00:00.000-05:00If you're not trying to impress anyone until you g...If you're not trying to impress anyone until you get to your destination, wear baggy clothes, especially if it's a long trip.

And the GPS system has been the best investment I have made...when it comes to finding those well hidden venues.<BR/><BR/>Oh...don't forget to collect email addresses. It works better than telling them to subscribe to your blog. Because they will forget to follow through.<BR/><BR/>That's why I also send an ezine! One that is uncomplicated (and I use) is Author's Den. It does cost money, but it's well worth it to me. <BR/><BR/>I say this because many of my audience members are not regular blogging/tech folks...they don't blog, they don't use feeders, they don't twitter (neither do I really)and they don't seek out blogs. <BR/><BR/>I believe it's an untapped market and so I am on a mission to find them all. :)<BR/><BR/>AllynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-24835761746441147102009-02-12T13:54:00.000-05:002009-02-12T13:54:00.000-05:00"Mike, don't forget the graham crackers!" ...and H...<I>"Mike, don't forget the graham crackers!"</I><BR/><BR/> ...and Hershey bars for S'mores... <BR/><BR/><I>"When life hands you lemons – you make lemonade."</I> *grin*Mike Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930532374058074100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-80190399377663911612009-02-12T13:19:00.000-05:002009-02-12T13:19:00.000-05:00I carry lemon drops for a queasy stomach... just i...I carry lemon drops for a queasy stomach... just in case. :-)Ann Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177732952658080784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-31293378804279532592009-02-12T12:54:00.000-05:002009-02-12T12:54:00.000-05:00Hey!

You should have those books with you even if you're just driving to that service station (you know, the one with the vehicle on fire that Mike mentioned). While people are milling about, you can talk about your book.

The physical act of chewing something crunchy helps keep me awake and alert. Carrots have an advantage over other crunchy snacks by virtue of being healthy, not to mention good for vision.Prill Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586202626442746356noreply@blogger.com
