After days of little to no internet connection, several phone calls to the phone company, and a long-awaited visit from a technician, our internet connection is back up! Yeah!
Without internet connection for what we consider to be a significant amount of time, we were surprised at how disconcerted and discombobulated we felt. We felt isolated, disconnected and cut off from the world and from friends and family especially. It's an awful feeling actually.
It makes me realize how much having the internet enriches our life overseas and how different life would be without it. At the same time it's disturbing at how dependent we are on it. I'm not sure it's worth analyzing whether it's a good or bad thing. It is what it is. I'm just thankful we're back in action.

OH how I can relate! When we first moved in here the customer service tech told me that internet service wasn't available in our area, and I just about had a heart attack. I guess she just didn't want to deal with the lady with the accent.
Simple email is wonderful enough; add instant message programs, video chat programs and of course the life-changing Vonage... technology can really help us to feel close with our loved ones from afar.
I'm glad you're connected again!
Let the countdown begin! Can't believe we'll see you NEXT WEEK!
Yeh! Thanks for calling yesterday, I am still pregnant and can't wait for this to get started! We will call you when stuff starts to happen!
Love
