July 3, 2007. The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day. Again. Today we arrived in Newark (new-ark), Delaware, to visit Host My Site, the company which hosts our real estate classifieds website and blogs. They are also one of the sponsors of Blog Tour USA.

We were greeted by Jean and Monish who surprised us with welcome gift bags. I have already begun using the diary to record the events of each day. It will make posting much easier, since my memory fades amidst the chaos and variety of experiences which are becoming part of this adventure.

Sonia, a local reporter from Delawareonline.com, arrived to interview us about the tour. After the interview, Darryl gave us all a guided tour of the facility, including the temperature and humidity controlled server room.

If you blog and want to have your blog hosted, HMS offers an affordable blogging plan ($45 per year— mention Blog Tour USA and get a $10 discount). What’s great about having them host our blogs is the 24/7 customer service. We have had our share of blogging glitches and the folks at HMS have been quick to respond and fix things. We highly recommend them to any blogger.

After taking some pics, we left Newark and headed for Washington DC. We arrived in DC around 6 pm and parked at George Washington University.
