There is - however - a spot in the middle of the gravel drive between the clothesline and the boathouse were you can pick up just enough signal on the blackberry to download emails and text messages -- but only if you hold the phone about a foot above your head. ^_^ BUT - I'm taking the laptop in the hopes of finishing the WIP. (The fact that there's WiFi at the ferry dock has no bearing on me taking it. Nope. None at all). I put story ideas in the blackberry - shorthand - then forget what the heck various lines like "3 ppl 2 bt blue" is supposed to mean!!!

I'm not going on vacation without my laptop and get extremely irritated when I can't hook on to a wifi-spot at least every few days (addicted much?) I imagine you come home with a shoppingbag full of scraps of paper with bits of story on them (because you couldn't put them in the computer when they came to you) and now you have to sort all of them out, find a piece and think 'which story was this supposed to go in' and 'what?? I think I wasn't sober when I wrote this' ;) Good to hear you had a good time and that you're back in one piece (when I think of Canada's less lived in area's I see bears hiding behind every tree ;)) I think you’re a brave woman leaving the intarwebs home.
