One of the more gratifying changes from 10 years ago is the almost universal availability of internet (WiFi) and places to charge the numerous gadgets we have brought along that connect to it.
All hotels and many restaurants have WiFi and it's free if you are using the facility. This makes some other countries, including the more expensive USA hotels and cruise ships, which perversely charge for it, look like the third world.
The last albergue in the ruins of El Ganso even had an AC power socket right by each bunk.
It would certainty detract from the trip if we were without either of these facilities (but would compensate somewhat by lightening the load, since without these I would have been tempted to mail some stuff home, including the 14 oz tablet on which I'm writing this post.)
