Travails of Travel

Help! When will this summer madness end? First the RV, then the new hearing aids for me (which seem to be working, thank goodness!), and now the RV satellite system! We thought we had it all set up to go with all of the necessary info, etc.... and we did! Only one little bitty problem... that darned TracVision dish could not be programmed with the satellite signals, even after buying a $150 update! Fortunately, the guy who is installing this whole thing (our new best friend forever Frederick) did not charge us since it didn't work, and he took back the new power cord for it, too. To make a long story short, as the coach is rocking from guys walking on the roof and drills are humming into our private space, we have now purchased (for many denaros) a new system called The Traveler, which SUPPOSEDLY will allow us to get coverage almost anywhere with the flick of a finger, complete with an East/West Coast feed, which means we can get the network programs and news (such as it is). Hmmmm... we'll see! Let's see, now... he has been here since 11:30 and it is now 6:30? Well, folks, this may be an ongoing saga that will have to be continued tomorrow! Meanwhile, we will be in Albuquerque for another day! Stay tuned!
