Contacting Us

For General Comments, Questions, and (our favorite) Words of Encouragement:  please post to our FaceBook Comments  Messages on this page always get the highest priority.


Email: Please follow Directions! 


Newsletter Sign Up: Enter your email address into our database and receive the RoadNews newsletter about every 6 weeks.  Your email address will not be sold or disclosed


Postal (paper) mail: Last resort


Email

Contacting us is easy with email.  We try to send/receive our email at least once every two weeks.  This means that if you write us it may be 2 - 4  weeks before we are able to send our reply back.  We reply to every reasonable email if we are able.  We may even be in a location where it takes much longer because of technical problems.  Please do not let this discourage you from writing us.  We have lots of time to respond to email offline in our tent or hotel room .  We are also thrilled to hear from anyone asking questions or with information on what lies ahead for us. We especially like to receive email from people living in areas that we are traveling in or will be traveling through.    Email is one our biggest sources of entertainment especially during rainy days.  We can spend hours reading and rereading everything.  The reason it takes so long to respond is our limited access to the internet.  (more on how we connect)

If you have a question or a general comment please post it to our Blog comments

Because of our very limited connection rates and the fact that it can cost $1/min please do not send anything but text emails.  Pictures or another kinds of file attachment take a very long time to download and become very expensive.   Any reasonable length of text is OK.

Also please DO NOT send us SPAM (junk mail)   or forward any jokes or other irrelevant messages that seem to float around the net.  You can send us email by taking the spaces and "(AT)" out of the address below:
