It’s a miracle that my husband and I ever got together. These days, due to his travel schedule, we find we’re still often worlds apart; but closer as well, thanks to Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium subscription.

The cities and time zones my husband visits and crosses on a consistent basis.
This time, the Technology Gods took pity and delivered us a solution in the form of SkyDrive and Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium subscription; our own personal cloud-based, virtual office, which allows us to communicate and collaborate across oceans and time zones in real time.
