Mail forwarding services are great for folks who travel (domestic and international), students, folks who will be away from home for a time and virtually anyone who will be away from their mail. For example, suppose you’re retired and would like to travel the United States. Some people like to travel using a recreational vehicle (RV for short). This allows you to travel for months at a time (without returning home). You might like to stay in an RV park for a few months – then move to another RV park. One of the biggest concerns people have is regarding their mail. How will they receive it? How will they receive their bills and pay them on time? This is where a mail forwarding company is most useful.
For a fee, most mail forwarding companies will agree to receive your mail – forward it to any location. Another beauty of a mail forwarding company is they can scan your mail – then email it to you. You might even have them destroy all of your “junk mail” – forwarding only your most important mail. A good mail forwarding company will perform this service as well.
Different mail forwarding companies charge different types of fees. A smart practice is to make sure the mail forwarding company will charge you a base rate. You don’t want to find out about hidden charges later. Also, it’s not uncommon for a mail forwarding company to require you to sign a contract (sometimes for a few months) – requiring a deposit. This is necessary because the mail forwarding company will need to set up your account and submit paperwork to the United States Postal Service.
Another great benefit of certain mail forwarding companies such as Texas Home Base is that you might be able to change the state of your legal residency. For example, you might be able to become a client – having a Texas mailing address – then change your state of residency to Texas where there is no state income tax. Obviously you would need to consult with your financial advisor before doing this – however, it is an option.
Lastly, mail forwarding companies are required to comply with United States Postal Service guidelines. You can rest easy knowing your mail forwarding company is working within the guidelines established to protect your best interest. Enjoy your days of travel and don’t fear using a mail forwarding service.

Small Recreational Vehicles
Ready to hit the road and have some fun? A small recreational vehicle might be the perfect choice for you. The phrase "small recreational vehicle" describes a vehicle created with one purpose in mind: to have fun. One might consider go-carts, off-road motorcycles, ATVs and jet skis to fit the bill. While these examples are certainly fun, they are not really small recreational vehicles.
Fifth wheel campers and pop-up trailer campers are true examples of small recreational vehicles. They offer the comforts of home while you are the freedom of the open road. You probably wouldn't be terribly comfortable sleeping on a motorcycle, or cooking breakfast in a go-cart.
With each new camper introduced, designs have improved and space has expended. As a result, traditional small group or family campers are moving away from the "small" category. Although today's small models are still the best choice for family trips, new design enhancements allow greater comfort and flexibility, without forcing the user into maneuvering a monstrosity akin to an NFL team bus or rock star tour bus.
The lasting appeal of small recreational vehicles lies in their portability and readiness, rather than the amount of cargo they can carry. With just a few hours preparation, a small recreational vehicle is transported into a home away from home, while you're away from home. Small recreational vehicles are perfect for the "get up and go" types of travelers that don't like a lot of planning and preparation. They offer nearly as much freedom and flexibility as a tent, with firm walls and a ceiling to give added security and protection from the elements. After exploring new surroundings, a small recreational vehicle offers a cozy place to return and rest up before the next big adventure.
One could argue that pop-up campers and trailer campers aren't true small recreational vehicles, because they don't provide the recreation. They do however make it possible to find your recreation in more places and in more ways than you might imagine. You can travel the country in your small recreational vehicle and see more of the world--instead of watching the world pass you by.

Enjoy the elegance and luxury of the house on wheels
For those who prefer to remain active and mobile as well as desire the warmth and leisure of home, a recreation vehicle is their ultimate choice. Cruising the highways and byways here and there, traveling to towns both large and small, discovering the unexpected by changing directions on the fly, an RV is nothing short of a dream machine. The freedom of owning a recreation vehicle will move your independent spirit in so many ways.
Declining demand for new housing, low capital expenditures per employee, and a largely inexperienced work force have contributed to only modest long-term productivity gains in the motorhomes industry. Motorhome companies are very much professional when it comes to carefree mobile holidays and mobile accommodation for all your touring needs, whether business or pleasure. A well-equipped motorhome with arrangement that best suits your lifestyle relieves you of all stresses and always makes you feel at home.
Flexibility is always an important factor while making the perfect choice for your RV. Choose an arrangement that best suits your lifestyle. Always be in the lookout for the optimal available capacity along with the basic amenities that are essential while traveling. Enough room for sleeping, a well-equipped kitchen, spacious bath area, and cabinet storage are standard facilities that come along with all motorhomes. Exterior storage, overhead cab entertainment center and other plush amenities may be a bit expensive.
Getting away from the fray is easy if you own an RV. You don't have to worry about the usual travel constraints and won't be bound by clock. You don't need to make prior hotel reservations or check a list of restaurants or motels along the route. You don't even need to make a frantic search for a clean restroom. Everything is on board. The rolling house will certainly fulfill all your necessities and allow you to travel to your hearts' content. RVs are comfortable wherever you go. At the end of each spectacular day of vacation travel, it surrounds you with the familiar warmth, comfort and style of home. Plush interiors, contemporary arrangements and a selection of entertainment features will settle you to enjoy a relaxing evening, and a restful night.
Those vacationers who are a bit cost conscious can realize huge savings by cooking their own meals and staying at relatively inexpensive campgrounds. RV travel also offers convenience to families with children, pets or those who have special dietary needs and requirements. Giving your recreational vehicle a little extra attention at regular intervals can pay off in thousands of extra miles of reliable service and enjoyment.
RV's are manufactured keeping in mind the users' requirements and budget constraints. RV companies are striving to set a new standard for measuring quality in all the various classes of motorhomes. Given a choice of size over quality, many RV'ers are opting for the quality. Believe it or not, RV or motorhomes, by whatever names you call it, are a wonder in itself.

Work in Your RV: Can It Be Done?
Because my background is in the outdoor travel industry, I could hardly resist adding a topic here for my friends who work in their RVs. RVs are recreational vehicles, and you would be shocked at the growing number of camping enthusiasts who retire from (or quit) the corporate life for a life on the road... and they need income, so they work in their RVs on the road.
Whether you work in an RV or not, this topic may be of interest as an alternative way to "work at home." Can you imagine being able to travel, enjoy the sights you've never seen, and do it NOW, while you work at home or work online? There are thousands of people doing just that.
Resources for working on the road are stronger and more plentiful than ever. With satellite internet, wi-fi locations nationwide, and many cellular wi-fi cards now available, you're just four wheels away from doing "work-at-home" in a different state every week. It's not for everyone, but just maybe it's right for you?
In this topic, we'll be exploring resources for the "free spirits" of the open road, work-camping warriors who take the less traveled path. I'll also be inviting select friends from our RVScrapbook.com , a social network for RV campers. Many, many of my members there work for themselves, from the road.
But up until now, this has been considered very specialized employment. Most RVers who want to work in their RVs go to work at campgrounds or in National Parks. Recently, more and more of them are discovering work on the web, and finding ways to create unique and interesting web sites, which gives them an exciting venue for telling the world about their travels - plus making money!
Check in on this topic for things ANYONE can do, even with a very mobile lifestyle.

Explore Northern Alberta Behind The Wheel Of An RV
The Deh Cho Trail meanders through the boreal forest, pristine rivers, former gold rush towns and Aboriginal culture of northern Alberta. Travel Alberta offers insights into the
highlights and navigation secrets of the trail. Exploring this trail with an RV gives you a window on a magnificent world.
There's a bear grazing on the side of the road, munching contentedly on grass. And just yesterday, you got the rare chance to watch a gangly mother moose and her calf wade on the
banks of a crystal-clear lake. Driving an RV along the Deh Cho Trail in northern Alberta affords moments like these at every bend in the road. The rugged landscape - while vast and remote - is a modern-day explorer's dream, a land steeped in the unique culture and history of the region's early inhabitants and the traders and prospectors that followed. For those who do not own an RV of their own, there are accommodations to suit every need.
Whether you're traveling by car, bus or RV/motorhome, this 1,800-kilometre (1,118-mile) circle route is a classic road trip for adventure-seekers who like to walk (and drive) on the wild
side. This journey through the Canadian North thanks to its vast boreal forests, mighty rivers, pristine lakes and rolling prairies, rivals other classic driving routes such as the Alaska
Highway.
Aptly named, the Deh Cho (pronounced Day-Cho) is an Aboriginal term for 'big river', representing the Mackenzie River region through which travelers will pass on their 12- to-14-day journey.
This driving trek is sprinkled with scenic campgrounds and RV parks - a testament to the countless tourists who drive the route each year.
Officially, the trail loop begins in the town of Grimshaw, 440 kilometers (270 miles) north of the provincial capital of Edmonton. (Check out Grimshaw's Mile Zero Antique Truck Museum, which boasts an eclectic collection of old vehicles. A few kilometers to the east is Peace River, a former gold-rush town from which explorer Alexander Mackenzie launched his epic
journey to the Pacific Ocean.
Visitors can delve into the past at the Peace River Centennial Museum and Archives, which boasts interpretive displays on the region's Aboriginal culture, early explorers, fur trade and northern transportation. There's also a restored railway station, dating back to 1916, as well as the grave and statue commemorating a local character named 12-foot Davis, who found riches - and fame - in the mid-1800s, when gold was discovered in the Peace River.
The town, situated at the confluence of three rivers, is well suited to recreation lovers - boasting world-class fishing and boating as well as hunting, golf and ranch vacations.
Heading north on Highway 35, motorists will pass through a string of towns such as Manning and High Level that played a key role in connecting communities during the fur-trade and Gold
Rush era.
East of High Level is the town of Fort Vermilion, which competes with the northern hamlet of Fort Chipewyan as the oldest settlement in Alberta. Fort Vermilion was founded as a
North West Company trading post in the late 1700s; historic buildings dot the town and the restored General Store is a popular refueling stop for travelers. The Fort Vermilion Heritage Centre boasts tales from the town's founding days, as well as a unique experimental farm collection dating back to 1907.
North of High Level, the Deh Cho Trail crosses into the Northwest Territories at the 60th parallel, which is denoted with a bustling visitor centre. From here, Highway 35 becomes
the N.W.T. Highway 1, which winds through communities such as Fort Smith - a gateway to Wood Buffalo National Park - and Fort Simpson, a popular jumping-off point for travelers exploring Nahanni National Park.
From there, the route loops through communities such as Fort Liard - home to its famous hot springs and river - and south into the neighboring province of British Columbia. The city of
Dawson Creek, B.C., marks the start of the Alaska Highway, and travelers frequently stop downtown to get their photo taken at the Mile Zero Signpost. (There's also a visitor centre, museum and pioneer village).
Three hours later, travelers are back in Alberta's Grande Prairie, an urban oasis of 35,000 people that boasts several campgrounds as well as an assortment of hotels and motels. Check
out the city's history at the Pioneer Museum, or head to Muskoseepi Park to bird-watch and catch some rays.
From here, the road jogs north again back to Grimshaw, passing through classic prairie towns such as Fairview, home to Dunvegan - an interactive interpretive centre that recreates life in the 19th century.
Those who are still in 'go' mode can continue their drive through several routes: from Grande Prairie south on Highway 40 to the city of Grande Cache, a journey that meanders past pristine areas such as Willmore Wilderness Park and onto Jasper National Park; or southeast on Highway 2 through Slave Lake and Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park for great camping, world-class boating, fishing and beaches, plus an annual sandcastle-building festival each summer) and Athabasca to Edmonton.

Fishing in Texas
Fishing In Texas
By Travis Clemens
In the state of Texas, 2 licenses are needed. The first is
called the Conservation license. This is a prerequisite a
person must have before being allowed to obtain a fishing
license.
The Conservation license can be obtained from the Fish,
Wildlife & Parks or FWP. This is done by giving one’s social
security number and other information that is requested. A
valid driver’s license or any valid ID with photo must also be
presented for security purposes for the license to be
processed.
Once that is done, a fishing license can be acquired which is
neither non-transferable nor non-refundable and is only valid
for one year.
Fish that are normally caught in Texas are flounder, trout and
sheepshead.
Here are some tips that will help anyone who wants to go
fishing in Texas;
1. The first thing to do is get the right equipment: a good
boat, fishing rod, reels and bait.
2. If one is not familiar with the place, it is best to ask the
locals where the best fishing ground is then start from there.
3. Hooks can be in different sizes. The right hook for fishing
is dependent on the kind of bait that will be used.
4. To prevent injury especially when taking out the fish caught
in the hook, it is advisable to do it using wet hands.
5. The primary source of food for Seagulls is fish. If there is
a flock in one area it means that place is good for fishing. One
should approach quietly and set the bait and just wait for the
fish to start coming in.
6. Some fish stray when the water is clear but it is quite
difficult since the fish can also see the bait. To be able to
catch more fish, the best place to do it is in deep water.
7. It is also advisable to try a variety of bait when fishing.
Some fish can easily be caught with one kind while others are
not. It takes practice to get it right and patience for the
fish to come out and haul it in.

Texas Vacations are Unique
The Texas Hill Country A Unique RV Vacation Destination
By David S
Are you looking for a special getaway this year – a vacation
within a vacation - for just you and your sweetheart?
Fredericksburg Texas is a charming city to visit while you are
vacationing in the Texas Hill Country, especially if you like
traveling with your RV. Fredericksburg is at the heart of
central Texas and its hill country.
Fredericksburg Texas rests near Enchanted Rock State Park, a
1,643 acre park which has the 2nd largest granite outcrop in
the United States. You can take a leisurely nature walk, or
hike up one of the many hills. For the truly adventurous you
can rock climb and repel. Take a day trip from the park for a
family picnic. While in Fredericksburg take a tour of some of
the homes and buildings located in the ‘historical district.
You can see 18th and 19th century-era homes that remain today
as testaments to the influences that German immigrants had on
the area. Some of these historical homes and buildings have
been turned into quaint bed and breakfast Inns to welcome
guests. You will also find well-known shops, restaurants and
beer gardens in this Texas hill country town.
The town of Fredericksburg also has a number of great wineries.
Stop off at any of these wineries for some flavorsome
wine-tasting, or to attend one of the special events held by
these wineries throughout the year for visitors. For a list of
wineries visit: http://www.llanoriverrvpark.com/wineries.html.
You can find more than 15 different vineyards and wineries
throughout Texas hill country. Touring a winery or vineyard is
wonderful for couples, the wine ‘connoisseur' or anyone who
enjoys tasting new wines.
Wildseed Farms is one more favorite travel destination while
vacationing in the Texas Hill Country. The farm is located just
7 miles east of Fredericksburg Texas off of US Hwy 290. Wildseed
Farms is the nation's largest working wildflower seed farm,
where you can purchase wildflower seeds direct from the grower.
You can also experience some of the greatest flowers that Texas
has to offer. Best yet, Wildseed Farms is open year round. The
wild flower farm is even open on Christmas Eve.
Not only will you see gorgeous Bluebonnets - the State flower
of Texas, Indian Paint Brush and many other species of flowers
in various stages of growth, but also you can shop at the
on-site gift store and pick up one-of-a-kind souvenirs. This is

Are you looking for a special getaway this year – a vacation
within a vacation - for just you and your sweetheart?
Fredericksburg Texas is a charming city to visit while you are
vacationing in the Texas Hill Country, especially if you like
traveling with your RV. Fredericksburg is at the heart of
central Texas and its hill country.
Fredericksburg Texas rests near Enchanted Rock State Park, a
1,643 acre park which has the 2nd largest granite outcrop in
the United States. You can take a leisurely nature walk, or
hike up one of the many hills. For the truly adventurous you
can rock climb and repel. Take a day trip from the park for a
family picnic. While in Fredericksburg take a tour of some of
the homes and buildings located in the ‘historical district.
You can see 18th and 19th century-era homes that remain today
as testaments to the influences that German immigrants had on
the area. Some of these historical homes and buildings have
been turned into quaint bed and breakfast Inns to welcome
guests. You will also find well-known shops, restaurants and
beer gardens in this Texas hill country town.
The town of Fredericksburg also has a number of great wineries.
Stop off at any of these wineries for some flavorsome
wine-tasting, or to attend one of the special events held by
these wineries throughout the year for visitors. For a list of
wineries visit: http://www.llanoriverrvpark.com/wineries.html.
You can find more than 15 different vineyards and wineries
throughout Texas hill country. Touring a winery or vineyard is
wonderful for couples, the wine ‘connoisseur' or anyone who
enjoys tasting new wines.
Wildseed Farms is one more favorite travel destination while
vacationing in the Texas Hill Country. The farm is located just
7 miles east of Fredericksburg Texas off of US Hwy 290. Wildseed
Farms is the nation's largest working wildflower seed farm,
where you can purchase wildflower seeds direct from the grower.
You can also experience some of the greatest flowers that Texas
has to offer. Best yet, Wildseed Farms is open year round. The
wild flower farm is even open on Christmas Eve.
Not only will you see gorgeous Bluebonnets - the State flower
of Texas, Indian Paint Brush and many other species of flowers
in various stages of growth, but also you can shop at the
on-site gift store and pick up one-of-a-kind souvenirs. This is
a fantastic way to spend a relaxing day in the beautiful Hill
Country, but do not forget to bring your digital camera to
capture the ultimate in wildflower photographs! Spend as much
time as you like at the Farm's Activities.

Tips on Staying Healthy While Traveling
Tips On Staying Healthy While Traveling
By Mark Hammond
When we think of healthy travel issues, most of us think of
travel to exotic destinations where they have tropical
diseases. Domestic travel can make you sick, too, though unless
you take some precautions. Here are a few ways to travel healthy
when traveling.
Medications
Make sure you have any prescription medications that you need
with you. They should be in the original bottles, and you
should keep them in your purse or carry-on luggage.
Make sure you have any over-the-counter medications that you
usually take, too. Acetaminophen, anti-diarrhea medication,
antacids and antihistamines are always handy to have with you.
If you plan to do any sports or outdoor activities, you might
want to carry a simple first aid kit.
Keep a list of all the medications you take and your medical
history with you at all times. If you are diabetic or have
other health conditions, consider wearing a medicalert tag or
bracelet, or carrying a medicalert card with you.
Immunizations
Immunizations are important for healthy travel. Make sure they
are up to date. Check to see when your last tetanus shot was
and get one if it’s been over five years, and make sure you get
a flu shot. Planes, trains and buses are ideal breeding grounds
for all kinds of viruses.
Wash your hands
Wash them often. Carry antibacterial hand washing gel with you,
and wash frequently. Germy people have touched everything, and
those germs get on your hands and then they make you sick. The
easiest way to prevent travel colds is to wash your hands a
lot.
Drink lots of water
Travel tends to dehydrate you. Airplanes, especially, have very
dry air in them. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages
because they tend to make you more dehydrated. If you are
flying, avoid carbonated beverages because the gas expands
while you are in the air, and you know what kind of problems
that can cause, especially for your seat mate. Bottled water is
best if you are unsure about the safety of local water.
Walk
If you are stuck in a bus, train or plane seat for long periods
of time, you can develop blood clots in your legs, which can be
very dangerous. Get up and walk around as much as possible.
Take a good walk at rest stops. As a general rule, you
shouldn’t sit for more than a couple of hours at a time. If
sitting is unavoidable, stretch your legs out and move them
around frequently.
Follow these healthy travel hints and you can avoid most
illnesses, even when traveling domestically.

What Can a Mail Forwarding – Receiving Company do for You?
Do you travel? Do you find yourself overseas – hoping your brother-in-law or neighbor will take car of your mail as promised? Maybe you pull an RV across the country – rarely returning home? Regardless of your reasons – a mail receiving forwarding company could benefit you tremendously.
Some mail forwarding companies are located in states which charge no state income tax – such as Texas. If you meet the IRS residency requirements – you could actually establish your legal residence in a state such as Texas – lowering your taxes – freeing up valuable money for travel expenses or whatever you need!
Do you worry about receiving and paying your bills on time? A carefully chosen mail receiving - forwarding company will help make sure your bills are received and forwarded to you within plenty of time for you to make those necessary payments. Also, if you desire, some companies will even screen out junk mail for you – per your specifications.
In choosing a mail forwarding company – you should make sure they are reliable, responsible and will treat you like a friend. Avoid large mail forwarding companies which will treat you like a number, lose your mail and don’t even know your name – choose a smaller, more customer friendly mail forwarding company. A company with people who actually know you by name and will treat you and your mail – the way you deserve.

What is the first thing to do when you are ready to become a fulltime rv'er?
Becoming a fulltime rv'er may be one of the most exciting changes a person can make in their life. Selling your home and personal items you have collected for many years is probably a difficult thing to do. But is it the most difficult thing to do? Maybe just the thought of not having roots in your community would be the most difficult to do. Or could it be the logistics of being on the road? There is so much to consider.
Please share your experiences with me in this blog. I am sure there are some old pros out there with a lot of wisdom to share. Newbies will really benefit from the wisdom of the pros!
