I would definitely love to travel for a year. I think I would need to wait until my children are older because of school. I can see myself doing this though if I had the money.

Stacie will have a copy of the book coming her way very soon, and after she read it maybe she’ll see that she can do this while the kids are still in school. 

If you think you’d enjoy taking a year off to travel, read the review of Live Your Road Trip Dream.

A very big thank you to authors Phil and Carole White for providing me with a copy of the book for review, AND for providing a giveaway copy for a reader of Travel Product Guide.

If Thanksgiving with the family had you running for cover, today’s giveaway is for you.  If you’ve ever wanted to travel around without a care in the world, today’s giveaway is for you.  If you have a yen to visit all 50 states, today’s giveaway is for you.

Live Your Road Trip Dream, by Phil and Carol White, is the story of how they planned and executed traveling for a year – for the cost of staying home.

Make no mistake about it, this is NOT another travel guide.  This is a how-to planning guide, mapping out practical details like arranging a sabbatical, mapping out a budget (there’s was around $76,000), breaking the news to family and friends, working on the road, and road-schooling kids.  The White’s tell you what they did, give you feedback on how well it worked for them, and give you additional options that may meet your needs.

I liked their honesty and practical approach.  While they traveled in a spacious van and stayed in RV parks much of the time, they also budgeted for motel stay as well.  Also in the budget were a couple trips home.

They allotted money to eat well and to visit attractions.  It wouldn’t have been much fun to travel the world, but not have the money to see and enjoy it. They talked about the pitfalls of being together 24/7 (you’ll have good and bad days) as well as what driving around is like (it can be boring).

I enjoyed their good-natured humor and stories from the road.  But even more than that, I enjoyed the real life stuff – the planning lists, budget worksheets, sample itinerary, and supply list.  A good resource list of websites, organizations and online discussion groups is also included.

What do you say?  Is it Yea or Nay for you?

Would you take a year off and travel around?  Leave your answer in the comments, and you could be the lucky winner of Live Your Road Trip Dream.

That’s right, just leave a comment here telling us if you’d take a year off to travel or not.

The contest runs through tonight, Friday, November 28th, 2008 at 11:59pm (PT). On Saturday, a random winner will be selected from all the comments to receive Live Your Road Trip Dream.  Please enter only once, and leave your email address in the appropriate spot so that we can contact you.

And for all you shoppers – Happy Black Friday Eve!

Black Friday, as the day after Thanksgiving is called, is one of the busiest shopping days of the year and is the kick off of the holiday shopping season.   It’s referred to as Black Friday because it’s the beginning of the period when retailers start turning a profit – that is, posting figures in the black.

Here at Travel Product Guide every day is a big shopping day, as Kori and I remain on the lookout for products that will make your traveling life more comfortable, easier and FUN!

We’re launching the holiday season tomorrow with our Holiday Giveaway!  We’ll have a giveaway starting Friday, November 28th – and continuing each and every day right up to Christmas.  There’s some good stuff for men, women, and children, so put Travel Product Guide on your daily to-do list and score one of these great gifts.

Tomorrow we’ll be giving away. . . oh wait, I’m not going to tell you – you’ll have to check back tomorrow!

Till then – Happy Thanksgiving!  And we’ll see you tomorrow!

There are currently two Packable raincoats in the collection:

Doddy (in photo at right) is a cropped and fitted motorcycle-style jacket, with an asymmetrical zipper and puffy shoulders.  It has a removable hood and a small packable self pouch at the inside back of the jacket.  It sells for $190 CAD.

Shiloh is a thigh length, form-fitting anorak with balloon sleeves.  It also has a removable hood, and its packable self pouch is located in the front pocket.  It sells for $250 CAD.

Both jackets come in black, sizes XXS to L.  They are 100% nylon, although Mackage recommends that they be dry cleaned by a leather specialist.

You can buy Packable raincoats online or at retail stores.

The device asks you 20 questions to try to make its guess. If it guesses correctly within the 20 questions, it wins. If not, you do. You will be surprised how accurate this “artificial intelligence” game is.

This round, colorful device is on sale right now for just $7.99 at Family Travel Gear. It’s a great stocking stuffer that the whole family will enjoy at home or while traveling.
