I bought a new computer recently.  I managed to transfer most of the stuff from my old computer with relative ease.  However when it came time to convert Eudora to Outlook I was stuck!  I’ve heard of many people having trouble when they convert emails.  I went online to look for solutions.  I found the Connected Software site which has lots of solutions relating to email and address books.

I also got help relating to some of the other issues I have been facing.  I was able to sort out my GAL to Blackberry problems.  I was also able to import AOL favorites which was a great help.

The Connected Software site is an excellent resource for information relating to migrating address books and email.

Its always exciting to head out on a trip.  Whether it is in the car heading to a local destination or in a plane heading to the other side of the world the buzz always gets to me when I am heading off.

What do you need on these trips. Well I always pack light.  A change of clothes, some toiletries, my journal and some maps.  Maps are a necessity.  I always carry a world map on my travels.  You never know when you will feel inspired to plan a new trip!  If its local I will have my map of United States handy plus some local ones such as map of California, a map of Florida or a map of Georgia.

My imagination runs riot when I look at a map.  My mind flies off and in my head I start planning new ways to fit in all the things I want to see.  I also never read a book without having a map or atlas handy as a reference.  Reading about other people’s travels is an inspiration and reinforces my desire to devote so much of my life to traveling.
