#254, Wife, husband share RV travels in new book

Author: Michael Kahn February 28, 2023 Duration: 28:52
Bonnie and Grant Sinclair are high school teachers in Georgia who also enjoy the outdoors as part-time RV enthusiasts. As wife and husband, Bonnie Sinclair has co-authored an RV travel book with her husband Grant Sinclair. Grant Sinclair The Sinclair's first book USA RV Adventures has just been published by Moon Travel Guides. The authors' comprehensive debut includes 25 flexible RV trip itineraries. While taking a break from teaching and RVing, the Sinclairs were our guests on Episode #254 of The Weekly Driver Podcast. We spoke with the couple on their vacation on a cruise ship near Cozumel, the Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea. Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia discuss with the Sinclairs their enjoyment of RVing and the process of writing about it. They select some of their favorite places. The Sinclair's book is meticulously detailed. Every itinerary includes the road trip loop, ideas for side trips and strategies for linking routes together. The best routes for national parks, historic sites, natural wonders, beaches and pet-friendly destinations are all featured. USA RV Adventures offers locations from coast-to-coast — from camping on the beach in the Florida Keys to following the ruts on the historic Oregon Trail. The Sinclairs offer their expertise on wildlife-watch in Yellowstone, hiking in Acadia with a dog, and enjoying morning mountain-peak views in Colorado. Bonnie Sinclair The book is promoted as a comprehensive planning resource. It features easy-to-use maps that highlight where you can (and can’t) drive an RV. It also provides thorough lists of nearby grocery stores for each campground, plus tips for health and safety on the road, navigating weather conditions, RV-ing with pets and minimizing your environmental impact. Please join us as we get to know the Sinclairs and discover their interest in RVing and all it encompasses. The Sinclair's book is available via all major online retailers.
