Yoo Hoo, Bruce!
On February 20th '97 you wrote to SHOSHONA BIEMAN:

Now you know:  Get a telephone extension cord from Radio Shack as well as
an electrical extension cord so you'll be all set for your next visit.
(From Carol:  Or next time stay at Disney Contemporary Resort in the
tower, where you have two phones with data jacks -- one of which is
on a table!)

Yes, please do!  DETAILS!!  WE WANT DETAILS!!

Something else to think about:  All calls from your room at a Disney
Resort to even the local calling area get you a 75-cent charge when you
call from your room.  However, if you can find a pay phone that has a
data jack and you are able to hook your computer up to it (Ha!) that
would only be a 25-cent call.  ;-)

Carol and I have found that taking a small reporter-style notebook and
jotting down some things through the day helps when we create our trip
reports later, even after we get home.
