Man - living without the internet is surprisingly refreshing and draining! First off, you get a lot more important things done like unpacking! So it's nice to not be distracted (for those of us who have less self-control than others). On the other hand, you feel so out of the loop you go in sane! You can only handle real maps in the car for so long before you scream for mapquest or maps by google. And without the internet to find furniture stores, grocery stores, or ANY stores for that matter in a completely new city you are not familiar with - and to top it off with no phone book in the apartment either! - you literally feel cut off from all information. And considering the fact that we're living in the "information age," we were really desperate for anything! So, for those of you who ever find yourself in a similar situation - neighbors are a gift! Not only do they tell you where the cheaper groceries are, but on occasion they have a wireless router for the internet and can give you the password and cut a deal in price for you! Yay for neighbors with the internet!
But since we have neglected our blog for about a month and a half now, it's time to play recap. Stay tuned for our adventure stories and pictures!
