Heading back

Our couple of holiday weeks off is winding down.  We are leaving this morning to work our way back to Allatoona.  We'll probably stop somewhere near Talledega for the night.
We've enjoyed our time here in Summerdale, AL, near Gulf Shores, the weather was spectacular up until yesterday when the temps dropped into the 20's at night and only into the low 50's during the day.  Glad to have gotten our filthy motorhome washed, so at least for a while it is gleaming.  We went back to the Fish River Grill and had another OMG shrimp poboy for lunch, just as yummy!  Also stopped at Billy's Seafood and bought 5 pounds of fresh shrimp to freeze.  The shrimp ARE really better here!
We've been battling Tengo for our internet here.  Tengo is a internet provider that used to be good years ago, but as they have grown, their speed and reliability have gone downhill.  I know I've been talking and talking about this internet deal for us, but we did make a decision yesterday to order a WiFi Ranger as the first step in our hopeful solution.  The Ranger has an exterior antenna and amplifier to boost wifi signals.  It is connected to a wireless router in the motorhome to provide a wireless LAN, local network, that will allow both Jan and I to connect our computers.  If no wifi is available, the router has a provision to plug in an air card to use cellular data.  We also have found Millenicom, a company that sells air cards and service without a contract.  So, as I said, step one is to get the Ranger installed, use it's wifi capability until we are in a situation where we need to go to a data provider, then go with Millenicom.  One of Millenicom's air cards uses the Verizon system, so we will be able to take advantage of their better coverage out west.
We are still working on a date for retirement, and the market certainly helped yesterday, so we hope it will still be very close to the end of Feb, although it is not written in stone.  We have our fingers crossed!
