This morning Sherri and I were up with the alarm...about 4:45...got our showers and down and out to McDonnalds for breakfast. We don't have coffee here at the hotel...well until 6:30? I guess they cater more to the 9 to 5 group of folks.
After the work day was over we headed over to Olive Garden and had a good meal. My order was a little late in getting to me and come to find out they left it in the window! Well I could over look this but I could not overlook the fact that my waitress did not keep my Dr. Pepper coming. I have to have plenty to drink and if that does not happen during a meal....no tip!
We left there and went back to the hotel. When we got in our room and settled in I turned on my computer and dial up Skype. Contacted John and Bridget and had a great visit with them. How cool is it being able to see and speak to your friends on your computer. We had a lot of laughs and got to see Fred...their dog. We enjoyed our short visit with you two and will do it again...

Enjoyed the visit, maybe next time we will have a better connection. We are West of the middle of nowhere. Our internet is iffy.

Boy, you are getting to be a real techno geek. We have a hard time figuring out our cell phones most days let alone a video conference. Besides I don't want to put people off their feed by having them have to look at my mug while they talk to me.
We just started using Skype to call our niece in MS. and Sam's sister in PA. What a great thing, of course it's better if you have a high speed DSL connection, but it will still work at a half decent speed wi-fi in a campground if not to many people are on the wi-fi. Remeber Dick Tracy's wrist radio, It's here now. be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
Yes, Skype is great.
I can talk to, and see, my folks in England, and it doesn't cost a thing.
Hope you two have a great work week. At least you are traveling to different places, and getting paid for it.

Oh we love Skype for keeping in contact with the kids.
Just like the Jetsons cartoon we saw when we were the kids, huh?
A great hint for grandparents... buy 2 copies of a good storybook. Send one to the grandkid in the mail. Then using Skype with video conferencing, you each read the book together, turning the pages on your book in front of you, discussing the pictures etc. It can be the same story over and over as a special bedtime treat... or a book of multple stories you can do a different one each call.
