Ok, figured as much. No password needed. Cheers.

Good start...
Don't forget to include a..."readjustment allowance"

This allowance should allow you a period of re-adjustment without work. I spent three months after a 1 year trip.

Hello! I found this topic and was very happy, but the joy was short, as the link is no longer working. Does anybody have a version of that file and cares to share it?

Hello,

My blog is out of commission, but you can still access the files through my dropbox account:

[EDIT] See post #30 for updated links [/EDIT]

Any value in blue can be user modified, including adding additional maintenance items. Also, if you hover over any cell with a red triangle in the upper corner there is a description that pops up.

If you are proficient in excel and want to modify it, the password to unprotect the sheets is "adventure". As long as you give credit where credit is due, feel free to copy, modify for your own use, etc. Enjoy!

Hi,

the links in post #23 don't work for me. Do you have the files posted anywhere else?

Thanks
Steve

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
