Possible Bad News

It doesn't look like I'll have an internet connection in Florida. There is a "internet cafe" about 1.5 miles from our condo, but according to our rental office, they want to charge $20 for the first five minutes and 20 cents for every minute after. I'm going to try and set up a dial up thing through my cable company, but I'm not even sure that my laptop has a modem in it, since I've only ever used wireless high speed at home. I guess this is what I get for staying in the cheap place, instead of getting a fancy "luxury" home. I'm having a mild freakout at the idea of 10 days with no internet - but who knows, it might be good for me.
