Internet problems..

I'm back in touch. I had internet connection problems at one hotel. It was baffling because I could get on at some locations and not others. Got to Myrtle Beach and tried to get on at a Starbucks, but it wouldn't let me. Then I had John pull in to different hotels to see if I could get a connection from the parking lot. You know I can't stand to be without my connection to the family and email (besides I'm still doing the church bulletin for each Sunday even while we are gone). I think I've found the solution after visiting Best Buy here in Myrtle Beach. I won't go into the details, but the guy did some tweeking and I believe I'm good to go now. You know me - I have to chat with everyone. I said we were visiting from MD, he said he was originally from Philly. I said I've been there. He wanted to know if we were vacationing. I said yes, we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and my hubby had just retired from being a police officer. This guy had been a police officer in Philly. The best part: After he "adjusted" my computer, I asked what we owed. (John had seen a sign that said diagnostics was $59.) He stuck out his hand to shake my hand and then John's. He said it is the least I can do for a fellow police officer. As we were walking away, I told John: I'm really going to keep you now - you're even more valuable than I thought. Only kidding, I was going to keep you anyway, forever...
