    Judy,
       
      Updating your pages remotely is a great feature and then having the system auto-update your friends that new postings, maps updates, weather, and text has been added allows one to enjoy the journey and still stay connected with minimum effort. You can add as many photos, text entries, photos and video (soon) as you wish all for free and keep a web based record of all your travels including weather for reference later...

    We can do that with the current GetJealous site, plus it allows us to
    have 2100 photos for cost of 60USD annually (could have only 200
    photos free) and Yahoo! does not allow that many photos. We really
    don't want to burden a friend or family member with having to admin a
    site for us. It seems sometimes that we ask too much of others
    already. I will check out the Sailtrac and the Travellerspoint sites
    recommended by others in this thread. We already have a link on our
    GetJealous site that automatically gives our current position which
    updates every time we send or receive email via Winlink. Only thing
    we cannot do is update diary entries via text email.

    Nice to learn that there are so many other free or inexpensive sites
    out there. We definitely are not going to pay a monthly fee just to
    have a website for our family and friends to keep up with our travels.

    to have internet access, just email posts and everyone gets them
    automatically
