My nephew is in China on a semi-school exchange.  He has been there for over a week and longs for home.

He's a young man and has never been away from home, so this is a really big adventure!

Last week he emailed me twice along with all his other contacts...not really a personal way of communicating.

Yesterday I downloaded.  It was pretty cool this morning when I turned on my computer, all of a sudden there he was ringing in. We talked for quite a while...it was wonderful!!!

He is exactly 12 hours difference so my 6am was his 6pm.  That was convenient!

He doesn't have video yet but he does have audio and that was Awesome!  I was thrilled to be able to hear his voice and he mine.  Even though I sat in front of my Logitech camera in my PJ's!!!

I am looking forward to using a lot more, there is just something so special about seeing your loved ones who are afar face to face.  Wow, here I am a realtor in Ocala Florida and I got to talk to my nephew in China via the internet for FREE!

You can't beat that!!!

If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it.  See you on soon.  Thanks to Active Rain, where I first learned about Skype

SARA, Skype is a wonderful way to communicate.  My children however still prefer instant messenger.  I have actually found out that I usually find out more on AIM than on the phone.  It has been our main source of communication with our son who is in Iraq.  He did call on Skype once but decided he liked AIM better.
