First is that it is hard to get an internet connection.  Free signals
are few and far between and we are here at a for pay iWave site $20
for a week or $10 per day.  I like to write and post not write - save
it and post later. Back in the States we had continuous Verizon
connections but not in jolly ol Canada

Most public libraries in the US and Canada offer a free wide band internet
connection. Whenever we cruise, or even take long auto trips, we carry a small
wi-fi equipped laptop. During occasional layovers we hunt down the library,
dump all our e-mail into the laptop, send out all the pctures we have taken,
attend to whatever business we need to, then fold up the laptop and celebrate
by
having a good meal. The ritual has worked so far.
