Skype 4.0

For me, Skype is the best thing since sliced bread the cell phone!  As some of you may know, I am a brit, living in New York.  My parents are currently on their life travels and are currently in Cambodia, my sisiter Rachael lives in New Zealand with her Kiwi husband and two children, my brother Anthony is currently backpacking in Australia (www.TrailOfAnts.com), the only one of us left in the UK is my other sister Natalie, which makes for tough times when it comes to communicating with everyone.   Nowadays (even in remote areas of Cambodia), my family can find a computer and connect to me via Skype.  What makes internet calling so great is that it is mostly free, and even if you call a cell phone in another country, the cost is pennies as opposed to dollars (depending on how long you are connected), and these days, that helps a lot.

Seeing your Niece and Nephew on the webcam is also a major plus, Christmas 08′ I got to watch my Neice and Nephew open their presents all the way over in New Zealand…. awesome.
