VPN

We purchased a VPN. The VPN allows us to stream from a US address and order from US companies.  

Ordinarily, Netflix is not available in Bonaire.  The VPN allows us to get a subscription to Netflix because it looks like a US address. Most online orders from US suppliers are blocked from foreign countries. The VPN allows us to order from Amazon (with delivery in the US, of course).  I miss Amazon orders that come in 24 hours. There is no Amazon delivery here.  

OMG I did not realize that I missed television until we got Netflix hooked up. It has been three months since we last watched TV.  We have been busy with other activities and didn't seem to miss it.

So far, we have only watched TV a couple of times in the evening.  Looking at full-color motion was thrilling after a long hiatus. The TV in the bedroom is huge.  It's the first time we have ever had TV in our bedroom.

Life seems a little more normal with the option to watch TV. Since we don't have cable this is the next best thing.
