How we get Internet access while on the road is probably the most common question we are asked.
Internet access is much easier to find now than it was when we started this crazy life we lead.
When we’re in the States, we have service with us all the time because our smartphone creates its own hotspot.
But overseas, it’s a whole different enchilada… CONTINUE READING > >

Congrats to our wonderful daughter, The Piglet, and her fiancé – they’re engaged and David and I are thrilled! Of course – me being me – I’m also a bit freaked out about being the perfect mother-in-law to this wonderful man.
