Internet access allows them to travel
Angela Hoy edits and produces Writers Weekly, the highest-circulation freelance writing ezine in the world. In addition Richard Hoy operates Booklocker.com, a print-on-demand publishing company. They can operate their business entirely online, but this means that to travel anywhere, they need an Internet connection. Once that became feasible in 2004, they began traveling.
The Hoys have an RV and homeschool their children so they are set to travel. And who wouldn't feel like getting out of Maine at this time of year? In fact, their next adventure will take them to Florida where they are visiting family and hope to see a rocket launch.
While they rely heavily on Wi-Fi in parks they also have a portable satellite Internet system from Maxwell Satellite. "If you are traveling around with one of these, just be aware that trees are the enemy," says Richard at WirelessTrips.com where they post information about their RV travels. They may find Wi-Fi signals in other locations like Starbucks and Flying Js plus have an antennae to pick up weak signals in parks.
The Hoys only travel part-time but it is the availability of Internet service that allows them to get away at all. More and more entrepreneurs are finding that the RV lifestyle is viable and take their businesses on the road with them. Jaimie

In 1999 I ran my infant Internet business on a cross country motorhome trip from modem connection to modem connection in campground offices and truck stops and never missed a customer call,email or order. Now with wifi cellphone cards and free hotspots abounding, it's even easier and I don't have to leave the motorhome.

"Gee, All it takes is money."
Isn't that true of any entrepreneurial venture? The most common reason new busineses fail is lack of capital. Jaimie
