I had intended to stay a week or less, long enough to recover from the solo drive south and make the rounds to see as many cousins as possible. And yes, I had intended to blog from the road, but I'm a wimp. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Y7Eu5qM3Vl-H7PX0T2_OK5b3xJE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Y7Eu5qM3Vl-H7PX0T2_OK5b3xJE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Y7Eu5qM3Vl-H7PX0T2_OK5b3xJE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Y7Eu5qM3Vl-H7PX0T2_OK5b3xJE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:YwkR-u9nhCs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?d=YwkR-u9nhCs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?i=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?i=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?a=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LanoraMueller?i=qpN4MW4dNjw:TRtNZRTXQyQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LanoraMueller/~4/qpN4MW4dNjw" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.writingtravel.com/2010/08/midamerica-road-trips-for-wimps-part-2.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d834515d8c69e20133f285dd60970b 2010-07-24T11:07:11-05:00 2010-08-15T16:35:51-05:00 Lanora @WritingTravel A big shout-out to CoPilot Live, sponsors of TBEX '10. During the conference, I was the lucky winner of their GPS mapping product for smartphones. Before I hit the road yesterday, I installed the app on my iPhone 4 and downloaded maps for Illinois, where my travels are focused, as well as maps for contiguous states Indiana and Kentucky, where my wanderlust may take me. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_og3xk-sF7b9SIZ8YpvIIWPKkrs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_og3xk-sF7b9SIZ8YpvIIWPKkrs/0/di" border="0"
