Hi JC,

It isn't always possible to talk to someone on a cellphone. it might be
late, or there might be a difference in time zones; or whatever. Email
might be less personal, but it has its uses... like sending pics, or
files or....

Free wireless connections are cheaper than cellular. Flying J truck
stops offer wireless internet as well.

Like Larry said, for some people the Vanagon *IS* home.


Happy trails,
