Interruption in WI-FI access

The hotel where we are staying in Nags Head has WI-FI service, but their signal strength is not predictable. Mike tried most of the evening Tuesday night, and although it said we were connected the signal strength was so poor that he was never able to get on line! He finally gave up and went to sleep. I got up after a few hours asleep ... loaded pictures, and decided to try it, and I actually was able to get online. Do not be alarmed if there is an interruption in messages! We will be here until Friday morning, and don't know if we will take the time to update on Friday night! Will try to get online during the night when there is less traffic to interfere!
By the way, we climbed Jockey's Ridge sand dunes today (all three of them!) - it's the highest permanent sand dune on the East Coast. The tallest one varies from 90 - 110 feet above sea level. The climb isn't high, but the soft sand can be difficult since it shifts and slides. There were hang gliding classes going on, so we got to watch a few students make test flights of the sand dune. It was great fun to watch, although I'm not sure the WORK was worth it. Hauling that kite back up the sand dune was a real challenge after a few seconds of flight down! Pictures to come later!
