Once when we did the TempleStay and then here. Mary and Alfredo would have been disappointed if we hadn't stayed with them but we also told them that we were spending one week with them and one week in a hotel because we knew that two weeks would be a long time without sometime to ourselves.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44641319964843521142014-11-16T21:52:52.529-05:002014-11-16T21:52:52.529-05:00As we mentioned we did have a back up but it wasn&...As we mentioned we did have a back up but it wasn't on an external hard drive, it was my computer, the issue is that we hadn't backed up the pictures from Oct. 30th until Nov. 10th, those are the only pictures we are missing and some files. Even having an external drive it only insures your files are kept if you remember to do it everyday because it is only as good as the last time that you back up and our problem was that we were just so busy that we just didn't get around to doing it right away and we really should have. We will definitely be looking into something like an external hard drive in the future or some kind of memory card.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-84953403067015080102014-11-16T08:36:35.971-05:002014-11-16T08:36:35.971-05:00Love the chicken dinners there when we were in Mex...Love the chicken dinners there when we were in Mexico, great deals to be had.

Not much bigger than my cell phone. Just checked your Amazon site and there is a WD back-up drive with 1TB for $69 plus a handy carrying case for an additional $6. I just will not travel without mine. The data and pictures are just too important. I even store them in separate spots for security.
