Wish I had something pithy to say - or even just something to say.
Our lastest angst involves our computers. When we returned to SMA from the cruise/WDW vacation, we plugged everything back in (power surges and drops, etc are a fact of life here so one disconnects everything in one's absence) and the computers ran swell until we noticed that there were some websites we could no longer reach: aeromexico, volaris (both SOB airlines), bancomer (our bank), CFE (the electricity company), and a few on the NOB side, too.
Troubleshooting the system found nothing. Our internet provider, Cybermatsa.com, said everything was fine on their end and that we should contact the individual websites to resolve the problems - like we could do that without internet access?
We finally called in our computer geek who set up our network for us. When there was nothing he could do to help over the telephone, he came out to the house and checked things out. Conclusion: Router problems.
Went to Office Depot this morning and bought a new router. Tried to install it but got stuck. Telephone call to our geek failed to help. Arranged for him to make a house call.
At the end of the house call (the new router wasn't cooperating; lots of flashing lights), he hooked the old one back up so we could at least be on the internet and reach some websites.
When he hooked everything back up the way is was originally: lo, and behold, everything worked! All the websites we couldn't reach before - both Mexican and foreign - were coming in loud and clear. So tomorrow we return the new router.
I'm sure there's a moral here somewhere, but I'm not sure what it would be. Just happy that the system is working again!
Now if Volaris would post those nicely-priced flights from DF to SJD soon (as that nice man promised they would), we'd be even happier.
As Glenda sang, "Oh, we couldn't be happier....No, we couldn't be happier...."
