Netbooks

I'm getting ready for my annual summer People to People adventure. This year, I'm taking 30 high school students to England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland for 3 weeks! We fly out Friday!

Loving to blog doesn't end with the Johnston Chronicles…nope, I blog the People to People adventures, too. I've always been at the mercy of having computers at hotels…until this year. I heard about netbooks…wasn't too sure what they were…so I looked into it. Then a friend emailed me to say she had a netbook…and would I like to borrow it. I declined, not liking to borrow something like that, but then became more intrigued. I heard a negative comment about them…being too slow…but I asked around more and heard more favorable responses…

Enter Costco… with their 90 day return policy. So here I am, with my new ACER Netbook, checking out how to blog through it…doing it a little different way than I normally do. I'm going to install SKYPE on here too…and that will have me set. All I'll need is Wi-Fi, which when I looked at the hotels online, I think most, if not everyone of them had.

I'll let you know how I like – or dislike – a netbook!

By the way, here's a link to the blog: http://p2ptravelers-europeanheritage.blogspot.com
