Have mylo, will travel.

Santa brought me a Sony mylo for Christmas this year. It picks up WiFi signals to access the internet, so I am bringing it with me to Europe so that I can easily update this blog with trip happenings. Additionally, I can instant message (Google or Yahoo!), check e-mail, and talk to anyone who has Skype (my Skype name is broadwaykatie). That's pretty impressive for something that is small enough to fit in the palm of my hand! It is my intention to update this blog at least twice a day if not more when possible whilst I'm away - check back often!
