On the upside, we did advantage of my in-laws cottage. For years, we have gone up to their cottage, just south of North Bay. It's beautiful up there. The air is cleaner, and the night sky is clearer. It's one of the few places were we ALL have to be disconnected, from TV (only 3 channels up there), Facebook, Twitter, and even cellphone service. There are a few "hotspots" where we can get cellphone reception, like beside the kitchen sink but only if you are standing on one foot with the phone close to the front door. Ok, it's not that bad, but still pretty bad. LOL!
