Staying connected

July 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Trip Preparation

We will be staying connected as often as possible while on the trip in order to keep this blog updated and share photos and stories of our adventure. However, it will be limited to the amount of battery power we have and the strength of our internet signal.

So being the geek that I am, I wanted to figure out a way to make all this happen, for as long as possible. By installing a power outlet on my bike, I am able to take a borrowed GPS and keep my phone charged at the same time. In order to get the internet, I was able to do a workaround on the iPhone to enable internet tethering so that I can us my phone to access the internet on my computer…

And to top it all off, my dad was generous enough to let me borrow his laptop battery so that we can last as long as possible in between rest-stop charges.

Geeky and overkill, I know.

So I’ll stop all this nonsense if it means it will detract from the trip… as the purpose is to experience the outdoors and try something new! I’ll keep it as updated as possible, but the priority will always be making new experiences. I just hope to use this site to share some of them with you.
