The Villages Car Show

After leaving Homosassa, we traveled through a no internet zone and very spotty ATT 3G area. This made blogging impossible and Twitting nearly impossible. The Google Map program on the iPhone was never able to keep up with the GPS reading, so it became useless. This is ironic because in the areas where you need maps the most there is no 3G signal, so even though you may have a GPS signal it will only be drawn on a lonely, grey grid on the iPhone (no maps).

When we arrived in Leesburg, 3G was back. We came across an auto show at the Villages (a massive retirement community with thousands of tricked out golf carts everywhere.) Tons of photos here, so let the tweats begin:

We are back in full blown internet access land so I am catching up on the blogs, and when it is all settled out I plan to comment on the pros and cons of such an adventure. BTW I noticed that Twitter messages are sometimes spelled "tweet" and sometimes "tweat". Do you have any preference? I think I am going to choose "tweet".
