No Wi-Fi at the Barrington Hotel

So this past weekend, I was asked to lead worship for an ALPHA retreat. Alpha is a sort-of "Christianity-101" course that different churches of all denominations can participate in. I'll perhaps post my thoughts on the content in the future.

Anyway, I signed on to lead worship for the retreat. One of our guitar players in the church decided to accompany me. They put us up (and held the retreat) at the Barrington Hotel, and the leadership put my wife and me up in one of their nicest jacuizi suites. It wasn't the newest hotel around, but it was relaxing in the room, I must say. Even though our daughter was up all night the first night because she was still sick (thanks to all of your prayers, she's much better now), at least we were in a nice room.

There was just one problem: the hotel didn't have wireless internet - well, they did, but it was only on one computer kiosk and cost nearly $10.00 per hour to use (so of course, they didn't have it in the room). I thought most hotels had Wi-Fi in their rooms (free of charge or something like that), but apparently, the Barrington hasn't gotten the message yet. Oh well, not that I have room to complain, but that is why I didn't update until now. Have a good day.

It is funny how much we rely on the cyber world. I know what you mean. Not having internet for a WHOLE DAY was torture!
