So, this past weekend, my brother and I drove to Arizona from Salt Lake City. Since he is doing the driving, I did not have to take the day off work for the traveling. I was able to work on tasks for work. Since I have a Verizon Wireless Card, along the way I was also able to be online, receiving e-mails and handling customer issues for work.
Along the way, I was also able to share webcam with others on the instant messenger too. As I am typing this I am between Flagstaff Arizona and Page Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. There is virtually nothing around, but when the light is green on the 'Merlin XV640' EXPRESS CARD modem, I have an internet connection.
As I am using this, I was thinking how much it would have stunk to have lived my life at any other time. So, that is one of the things that I am grateful for during this thanksgiving season. Wireless internet on the Reservation. :-)
PS. After traveling through this wilderness areas, many of which I was not expecting any connection at all, I recommend the Verizon ExpressNet service. Right now, with a calling plan, the Unlimited Wireless Data is 59.99 per month. Great on Road trips (when another is doing the driving of course).
