It didn't occur to me I'd be without Internet this week. My husband is fulfilling a bucket list item by serving as a marshal in a pro fishing tournament in Lake Havasu, Arizona. He booked us at a beautiful state camp and RV park about fifteen minutes out of the city. There's a sandy beach for people and a separate one for doggies. There are trails and fantastic scenery right on the lake. But no WiFi? He didn't think to ask. We've never encountered this. My HotSpot box won't even connect me. My phone gets only occasional coverage and is so small I can't do much besides look at my email.

So here I am, sitting in a McDonald's. I had to drop him off at 5am then settled in this McD's. Nothing like a McD's breakfast - not! Just hope I'm caught up by lunchtime. If it's a smorgasbord you're after, this is not the place to be! I'm writing this on Friday and won't be able to respond to comments until I'm back to civilization

When I'm hunkered down in the RV, without Internet, I do get more writing accomplished. Book four in my Love and Murder series took flight yesterday. And I got in two great walks.

This sort of inconvenience makes me wish for the days of no Internet. You can't miss something you don't have. You can't need something that doesn't exist. An elderly gentleman on his way out, stopped by my table and commented. He told me he used to be plugged in but gave it all up a couple of years ago. All he owns now is a simple phone for emergencies. Hmmm...some day maybe.
(This post was previously published with some minor changes yesterday on my personal blog, Discover Yourself. I had to make the most of my short Internet time!)
Although she didn’t
start out to write romantic suspense, Brenda has found all good stories involve
complicated human relationships. She’s also found no matter a person’s age, a
new discovery is right around
every corner. Whether humorous or serious,
straight contemporary or suspense, all her books revolve around those two
facts.

I'm commenting on this from my phone at work where I don't have wi-fi. Makes me crazy, too. I think we're all addicted. Looks like a beautiful place to hike, Brenda. Enjoy yourself!
We've been there. Beautiful. Can't wait to get back. Good point about the wifi, or lack thereof. Kind of nice to unplug now and then. Lucky you.
Unplugging voluntarily is one thing. When you can't and want to, it's not good. I'm so glad I can keep in touch even when I'm away from home.
Been having a great time and checking in for the second time at McD's - not my favorite place! Tomorrow I'm back to the land of always Internet.
