>Four days? Feh, I was on walk about for two weeks and no comm. I had my web-enabled cell phone, with modem, a laptop and a Pocket PC (I calculated the price of the electronics I had with me to be about half the retail price of the motorcycle they were riding on).

I wasn't allowed to take the iPaq. < shucks >

> Problem was getting a digital signal to connect. As I found out, there are plenty of places in the US that don't have analog coverage, let alone digital (e. g., Wyoming). Got to my sister's in Indianapolis hoping for a connection, but the wall jack for the computer was dead. Hell, I didn't even know if we had actually shipped or not until I got back.

I was shocked too. We were travelling in southern BC and on two secondary highways we lost digital (not a shocker) and analog signal.

>Ahhhh, not that I minded at all. :-) Pics from the trip are here if anyone cares. The first set are from the Jack Daniel's distillery, I just haven't labelled them yet.

I hope you got some samples. The theme for our camping trip was visiting the Okanagan wineries. Something I would highly recommed to anyone visiting BC.
