This will be easy. You'll go to Ojochal and do stuff. If there are any questions we can talk and email and sort things out. All very easy - after all it is 2010 and we have more computers and cell phones and Iphones and email accounts than we know what to do with.
Oh the best laid plans. Satellite wireless internet at the house, no cell service.
Well Monday night - Day 3
Lisle calls using Skype - little bits of words float by - nothing intelligible and then suddenly a dial tone. I put the phone back on the hook. A minute later it rings again - same scenario - perhaps a few more words than last time - gone again. 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... 6 ... again and again. Frustrating!!!
I finally get that he is giving up and driving to a pay phone. 2+ hours later the phone rings - seems finding a payphone is not as simple as it might sound.
Day 4 not much better, except that Keith and Karen offered the use of their service for much of the day. That allowed for photos to be posted and emails to be sent - but so much for the evening telephone call.
Wednesday - shockingly, the wireless internet has an ethernet connection as well - we can actually have a conversation.
Need a better plan or clear understanding of the resources next time.
