On vacation with technology

So... Southwest Airlines is excited to offer satellite-enabled WiFi internet access onboard.  However, they did not have this handy feature offered on any of the flights Debbie, Collin and Hunter took to meet Ranee in Boston.  The hotel in Freeport, Maine had spotty internet which made it difficult for Ranee to work in the middle of the night when she should have been sleeping.  :)  During the ENTIRE drive from "Nowheresville", Maine in search for the Atlantic Ocean (hello... it's huge!  One would think that it would be easily found... not so easy in the fog!) there was NO signal, internet or otherwise, for any of us to make calls, receive calls, check Facebook, play internet games, ANYTHING!

Hooray for technology!  In the rental car we've managed to rig up quite the mobile internet cafe.  As you might notice from the picture we have a variety of gadgets plugged in and running all of our stuff.  We have the boys' computer, the GSlate, Katherine's borrowed TomTom and a cool MiFi thingy all plugged in right now.  Thanks Dad for hooking us up with the power adapter AND for getting us hooked on technology!  :) 

I have to go now as we are now driving in Canada in the dark and apparently there GIANT moose (or is it meese or moosen) we need to watch out for.
