Hello Fellow Technophiles,
I’ve got my sunglasses ready, the flights are booked, the car is rented, and I am already daydreaming about sand and surf. By this time on Saturday I will have left the icy north and will be in the Sunshine State: Florida. As many of you know, we have a retail location in Key West but I will be a little ways up the coast on Sanibel Island. Per our Key West retail manager Joe, there is a speedboat service from Fort Myers right to Key West, but I think I will try to keep my vacation a pure vacation and make my way to Key West another time.
On a winter vacation a few years ago, my furnace went out on a day where it was twenty degrees below zero here in Vermont. Fortunately, my family was feeding my cat and discovered this before things got too bad. The cat, thanks to his extra pounds, was just fine and the only pipe that froze was a water line inside my washing machine. This time I will be better connected thanks to my Nest thermostat. Not only will I be able to check the temperature of the house anytime, I will also be able to turn the heat up from the airport (or even from the airplane if I buy the on-board wifi) so that I will return to a nice and warm house. After a week in Florida, I am guessing this will mean I need to turn it up to 80.
Thanks for reading!
