Traveling Phlebotomy Trainer

I am a recently retired education coordinator. I have spent the last 40+ years working as a phlebotomist or training phlebotomy. For any who does not know what that means; I draw blood and teach others to do the same.
I am now embarking on a new journey I have dreamed of for years. I will be traveling all over the United States to see this great land of ours. I will be pulling a 30 foot travel trailer and staying in state or national parks. There have been many people ask me to keep them informed of my adventures so I have decided to build and maintain a travel blog about the sites I visit.
Knowing me I am sure I will get into many funny or touching predicaments and I love to share funny stories about myself. I am also an avid amateur photographer so I will be sharing my better pictures. It would be wonderful to hear from you as I make this pilgrimage.
It is also my desire to continue helping people to become better phlebotomists. I will be conducting 8 hour phlebotomy training sessions for anyone who would like to improve their skills. Hopefully I can coordinate this with my travels. This will help me fulfill my desire to continue helping others to be good at what they do.
I look forward to sharing my travels with you.

If you enjoy music and amusement parks, Branson is the place to go. Personally I enjoy peace and quite so I spent most of my time in camp or on the docks fishing. It is amazing how quiet and peaceful the RV Park was while only a few blocks away one can enjoy all the excitement of shopping or shows. The first day we spent some time on one of the fishing docks trying to catch trout. My son, Kevin, has never ... read more




I have recently bought a new Toyota Pickup and a 30' foot travel trailer and have been taking a few short trips to become acclimated to driving and parking the trailer. Parking the trailerare the key words here. After using an hour of my time and 1/2 tank of gas I have discovered that parking a trailer is no easy task. With my son anxiously watching and giving encouraging words, I gave up the first attempt thinking I would find a cliff to push the thing over and be done with it. However things got better when I discovered most RV Parks have pull through parking spaces. I am still trying to improve my skills and am quite confident that I will persevere. If nothing else, I am quite stubborn and don’t give up easily. My ... read more
