ON OUR WAY BACK TO WISCONSIN
We left FunNSun on the 3rd of April and stayed 5 days at Pioneer Park in Port Aransas. Left there this morning and are at the I-35 RV Park north of Waco tonight. Plan to stay at Rockwell RV Park in Oklahoma City Saturday to Saturday, and get home Tuesday, the 19th of April. We bought some Big Boy tomatoes at Lowe's in case the weather turns warm (global warming).

OUR TRIP TO HAWAII WAS A SUCCESS
We flew from San Antonio to Hawaii and we spent a week driving around the island before we boarded the cruise ship. After eating for ten days, we docked and flew back the next day to Fort Worth. We then rented a car and drove back to San Antonio. This is the third Space-A trip that went very well, with no hitches. Our itinerary and pictures are at:

FREE WIRELESS AT PIONEER PARK
We have been stopping each year at Pioneer Park in Port Aransas to enjoy the beach and use their wireless Internet service. It was a nice surprise that they have gone from a fee service that was $12.50 a week or $21 a month to a free service. I then got to put my web pages on the web.

PRINTING WEB PAGES
When you want to print a web page and it won't print or it will print ten pages:
1 - Go to the part of the page you would like to print.
2 - Press the Print Screen button at the top of your keyboard (Prnt Scrn).
3 - Open a new word processing document (such as WordPad).
4 - Paste a picture of the screen into the document.
5 - Print the document.
To print part of the page, paste it into your photo editing program and crop the image to remove the unwanted part.

WI-FI
I thought I explained what Wi-Fi was in the last NewsNotes, only to find that what was clear to me was clear as mud to others, so here goes another try. A group trying to encourage the use of free ‘hot spots' where anyone can bring their computer and access the Internet with wireless equipment, registered Wi-Fi as their trademark. Wi-Fi is commonly used to indicate wireless Internet, but really means ‘free' wireless Internet. If your computer is ‘Wi-Fi' enabled, it will work on the free systems or those you subscribe to, when within range.

TRACFONE W/ONE YEAR SERVICE FOR $33.95
While at Travis AFB, I saw a Tracfone at the BX and couldn't believe the price. One year of service is normally $95. I activated the phone and got my free 100 minutes for the referral and since it is GSM, there is no roaming charge. Now I need to learn to send text messages to Joe and Bruce.
