From Eilat!

[aggienaut]

I'm in Eilat on the Red Sea

It's sometime around 4am, I'm not sure I forgot to bring a timepiece ):

I've been drinking all night and have about 10 shekels to my name right now. Well, on me. Turns out most ATMs around here only accept four digit pins and mine is five!! ): Before you travel make sure you only have a four digit pin!

Catching a bus tomorrow at 6am into the Sinai desert in Egypt. May be stuck with nary an internet connection accept IP-over-camel.

Just a minute left of this internet. Gotta go!

Eric had the same issue with pin numbers when he went to Germany. A four digit pin is good advice. Funny how they don't tell you that at the bank when you create one.

I had the same experience with my pin. Sucks.
ROFL=IP-over-camel.

You sound like you're having the time of your life. Carry on! :)

Thanks for checking in and letting vicarious travel continue!

I hope you can find an open bank lobby before you vanish on the camels!

This post included no photos of camels, so I refuse to read it.

Hey, complain all you want about the latency, but the bandwidth is awesome.

Also, didn't even know that five digit pin was an option.

I will now have One Jump Ahead stuck in my head all day.

It seemed nice, we were only there very briefly though.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

No problem! (:

I forget how I finally managed it, I think I had to call my bank and have some serious arguments with them.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Lol such sauce!

I still to this day have a five digit pin, though I realize I'm taking my life in my hands every time I travel because of it. Oh well, some people (me) never learn ;)

[pavel-lishin.livejournal.com]

Well, the latency between thing-experienced and lesson-learned can be quite high latency, too. Sometimes up to five years!

Ahahaha. I think I finally have a four digit pin. I'm not sure, I have to enter my pin so infrequently now that I have to take a number of guesses to get it right when I do!
