Have Web Sites Will Travel:     Traveling Webmaster to begin his "American Odyssey" 1 November 2003

Meridian, ID -- U.S. Navy retiree, Thurman "Ray" Plumlee, in his second career as a Traveling Webmaster, is about to embark on the cruise of his life. He will tour North America including every state in the continental United States, Alaska, all Canadian Provinces and all Northern Mexico states in a 5th wheel travel trailer. He plans this excursion to last at least 5 years. Or until he gets tired of seeing new places.

From his 28 plus year career in the Navy he has adopted a Naval theme for his adventure. Naming his Land Yacht (5th wheel travel trailer) the "American Odyssey" and using nautical terms to describe the progress of his adventure. Nautical terms such as Home Port, Underway, Inport, Enroute, Weigh Anchor, Drop Anchor, etc.

As of this publication his Odyssey will begin in only 67 days. A far cry from the day he first envisioned this adventure, some 6 years ago. Only now have things in his personal life and his business life come together to make this dream come true. He now says "it is time to follow that dream."

Once Ray Plumlee's Odyssey begins he will be a Traveling Webmaster in search of adventure and new horizons as he continues to grow his online business. During his Navy career he has crossed the country (coast to coast), by automobile, four times. Upon his retirement in 1994 he drove across Canada from New London, Connecticut to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where he then turned south into the U. S. finally arriving in Idaho (near Boise). Where he has lived ever since. Six months after his arrival his father (Thurman Stephan Plumlee) passed away. In May of 1999, after his mother (Vera Mae "Seay" Plumlee) passed away from cancer, he moved to Meridian, Idaho where he lived until this adventure begins.

During his 28 plus years, in the Navy, he was constantly on the move, traveling not only around the country but around the world. Invariably, after so many years playing the part of a rolling stone (gathering very little moss), he cultivated himself a set of "itchy feet." A phrase his father always used to indicate it was time to move again. His dad would say "my feet are beginning to itch. It's time to move."

As Ray travels around the country he is going to do double duty. One as a web designer and webmaster (for over 850 domains), the other as a tourist. He believes that America is the greatest untapped tourist destination in the world. His plan is to see as many places as possible. When seeing many of those places before he only had a fleeting chance to visit as he was often only passing through. Even more places he only dreamed of visiting.

Armed with his laptop computer, with a wireless internet connection, and staying connected with his clients by use of a toll free telephone number directed to one of his cell phones, he will continue his web programming and design business. With this ability to stay "connected" and that he will only travel one or two day's at a time, usually over a weekend, then spending 3 to 4 weeks in each location before again moving on to the next location.

Each of these locations will be, what Ray calls, his "Home Port." The purpose of these Home Ports are to allow him to have a central location to operate from, allowing him to branch out and around in the general area of the Home Port on day trips visiting all the tourist destinations worth seeing in the area, before moving on to the next Home Port. All the time working web design projects for his clients.

By now you must of guessed how he came up with the name of his web site: Have Web Sites Will Travel
