I’m off tomorrow for a week long vacation, and due to the fact that it’s a trip to Europe, we’re leaving our cell phones, cell phone accessories, and the laptop at home. This is the first trip I’ve made in a LONG time without guaranteed internet access. I’m sure I’ll be able to find an internet cafe at some point to be able to check in…not with all of you necessarily, but with my kids, who aren’t coming along on the trip. I also left the number of the hotel, so that my kids can call us if they really feel the need to talk to us during the week that we’ll be gone.

We could have taken our cell phones if we were so inclined to do so. I know that when we had our T-mobile plans we were told that our phones could be user overseas, provided we called up the cell phone provider and asked for that service. I don’t have a clue what it costs per minute for those calls, and I really don’t WANT to take my cell phone, so we opted to not do so. We did it when we went to Canada this summer though, and we were able to use our cell phones anywhere, just like we were at home.
