Traveling escapades
We've been on a much-deserved vacation for the last several weeks with very limited internet access. It's amazing to discover in our travels how many places are not connected with the internet. It never dawned on me until this trip how high tech our area is. So many times I have wanted to look up something pertaining to our trip, but remember I have to do it the old fashioned way - by going to the library! Crazy!
This was during our first week of vacation where we spent a day visiting the California Redwoods. This was a first time for our kids - they loved it!
I've been wondering where you were! It's great to hear you were on vacay!!! Aren't the redwoods amazing?
BTW, not sure how anti-cell you are, but last year when I went to Portland, I took my smartphone (it was an HTC Shadow) and was able to connect to the internet over the data network. It worked great to research directions, look up restaurants and shops, etc.. I have since picked up an iPhone and often use it for that kind of thing, even around town. Just a thought if you travel a lot!
I love the Redwoods!!
Looks like your family had a wonderful time! We took our family there three years ago...the summer I got to me you :)
