We purchased our first 89 Westy Dec 03...been getting her ready for a long
US and Canada trip...some mechanical left...then we're ready to hit the
road....I'm looking for topics, issues, and things in general that we've not
thought of...do to our lack of experience...


BTW:  There are two adults and two Golden Retrievers traveling


We're in good shape:
1.  I've read and studied every post on www.westfalia.org
2.  Also on www.vanagon.com
3.  www.volkscafe.com
4.  www.thebusdepot.com
5.  www.gowesty.com
6.  www.vanagain.com
7.  www.roadhaus.com


We have our packing list isl complete...the only really issue is the roof
rack...the plates are attached to the pop top...I have cross bars...just
need to get  the risers...all the estra camping stuff is bought...


Big concerns and things we could use some help with:
1.  Laptop on the road
2.  Mac or PC...heard that Mac was much better at handling
images...(pro/cons)
3.  How to get mail while underway
4.  Where to find a reliable msg service.
5.  Which cell phone company is worth the trouble )
6.  Is Onstar worth having
7.  Using the power of FREE CAMPING
8.  Working up a realistic budget
9.  The biggie...managing digital images on the road (camera and laptop
suggestions appreciated)


Feel free to email me directly or post here:  Chuckphoto@earthlink.net


Thanks in advance
Chuck
