As I go through the aging process(not at all like a fine wine) I realize that I am less and less willing to do without my creature comforts. I've camped in jungles before and I won't be doing that again anytime soon! For me, it is important that I am able to stay in contact with my business back in the States and that I can be reached by phone at any time. Does that suck? Possibly. But, it is what it is....for the next twenty years or so...then I can go slightly off the grid. Still have to have ac, though....
