It Ended with a Chirp

The trip has finally started. I left late yesterday morning. After a long day, which included driving throuh a blinding sandstorm west of El Centro, I got off the road in Peoria, AZ and checked in to a Comfort Suites. As some of you know I am a complete newbie in the wireless world…new laptop and new cell phone. Learning how to use them under pressure is not the wisest thing I’ve done. Anyway, I finally got in to my room, it’s late and I’m checking my stuff out. It’s the first chance to connet to the web.

All of a sudden I hear a chirp. Although I hadn’t heard this sound before, my first thought was my cell phone. I started listening to every digital device in the room and couldn’t find it. I even thought it might be a sound from the room phone. I could not find the source of the annoying chirp. I went down to the front desk to ask the desk clerk if she knew anything about cell phones. When I told her that there was a chirp in my room, she said it’s probably the smoke detector. Sure enough, that’s what it was. I had to repack my stuff and change rooms. The end of a perfect day.

Incidentally, I’ve got digital pics but don’t know how to upload them yet in this new Apple world.

Time to get on the road again….ever eastward.
