See the RV in the Wal-Mart parking lot? My T@B is just beyond.... (On the left of the building.)I was up at 5:30 AM; 73 degrees. It was a warm night and I had the sleeping bag open with my feet out. Sunrise approximately 6:15.
Au revoir, Cafe Depot, Saint Romuald. Soon I will start down the Trans-Canada highway en route for Goshen, Indiana. I plan to attend the Escapee RV Club event called an "Escapade."
A few parting remarks; details written last evening. "It is 8 PM Sunday, Aug. 29th. I'm sitting in my orange camp chair, beside a very dirty T@B, under a bright light in the Wal-Mart parking lot; 78 degrees.
"I've just spent a couple of hours reorganizing my trip info. I've had scraps of paper and three separate notebooks with scattered details. Over the last several evenings I've transcribed to one notebook. I believe I now have 'all my ducks in a row' (ha!). I just need two weeks on the computer to bring the blog up-to-date!!
"Friday evening, and all day Saturday and Sunday, was spent in the nearby Cafe Depot. I chose to work on the blogs rather than visit Gabrielle and her husband. I know I missed a blessing by not accepting her invitation. I've had so few occasions to access the Internet so I grabbed the opportunity. I wish it were easier to get trip details published. Yes, there is a 'gizmo' that attaches to the laptop to access the Internet via a satellite. No, I'm not going to pay for that service. Besides, I need electricity for the laptop and I've failed to find a Wal-Mart with outlets (ha!).
"My weekend is devoid of noteworthy events. I didn't get any exercise; I ate very little but paid a lot for coffee, bagel, soup and sandwich. On the positive side: Three nights--at no expense--in a Wal-Mart parking lot. What's that worth? A minimum of $20. per night?"
Hi Lorraine!! Glad you found WiFi again.
ReplyDeleteOne thing you might try to speed up picture time.
Do the following. Get a Photobucket account (They are free.) Upload the pictures from your camera to Photobucket, then "link" from Photobucket to blogspot. (Copy the "direct link" from underneath each picture.) Pictures seem to upload MUCH QUICKER to Photobucket than they did to blogspot, and it is almost instant to link them from Photobucket to blogspot.
The only catch is once you link them to blogspot, you CANNOT move them or delete them from photobucket or they won't show up.

Another suggestion...why don't you write your blogs and insert your pictures on a nightly basis...save it instead of publishing it. Then when you find internet service, publish all of them at one time.
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to do all of this offline. Another suggestions about your pics...save them at a lower resolution so it won't take so long to publish.
THANKS for the suggestions. I'll explore Photobucket.
ReplyDeleteSharon (and all) I need the Internet to access my blog (Google Blog Spot). I ***wish*** I could develop the individual blogs off-line and publish when I have Internet access.
Sharon, I never finished the blogs for Cape Cod!!! I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever get my thoughts--and pictures--published.
