I wasn't even aware that they specials were on offer. Might be good to check before we settle on our next cruise. I'll be 55 in September - darn.

Jackie.....they also have residency discounts...so ask if you get a discount for the state you live in....I saved a couple hundred last year being we were from California and sailing from FL

AS far as that 55 thingy goes David quailifies.. but normally I just mention aarp (and you can join that at 50) and all senior discounts are applied (that worked with HAL years ago)

No 55 discounts for me yet but paul would qualify ;-)

we're not getting older- just better !

Anyone ever use a prepaid international cell phone for their trips? we are considering this option in case their is an emegency with someone at home.

Just curious about any first hand experiences...

Gail .... i bought one of those international phones and pay only when i use it... i have a phone number for life .. its only for emergency....i don't plan on calling home all the time while i am gone thats why i have my laptop...

Tonia.... yes, i just checked my yahoo mail. Don't have access to yahoo mail at work- they have it blocked. I just emailed you back.Thanks again.

Where did you purchase from and is it loaded with a sim card? My Dad is not well and i just would feel better to know if something happens my mom or brother could get in touch with me immediately. i was looking at range roamer. rates looked good compared to some. but just started to research.

thanks for your input.

gail

ps. here anything from the restaurant La Villa yet?

terumim · July 8, 2006

Gail ... i bought the MOBAL phone for 99$.... came very fast and yes it comes with card ready to install....i thought since i plan to travel more it would work better for me...i didn't want to rent a phone because why pay when i wouldn't be using it... my phone here at home doesn't work down in mexico when go to ensenada and baja when lobster comes in season and this works down there also...so it was a good investment for me....

and its a nice phone...to boot

yes got return mail...glad you will be joing us... i agree it did sound better to me then the bus with alot of others... i will be bringing my walkie talkies so we can keep in contact just incase...hehehheeh i know that sounds weird... but we used them when we go to mexico and it works great when we are at other parts of the town and need to confirm stuff, when with others...

Nothing yet from restaurant gezzzz i hope soon...( i am assuming my little spanish wasn't enought LOL LOL )... i will give it another day or so for fax, i am the type i have to complete what i start till its done ...

Tonia, where exactly do you go when lobster comes in? We fell in love with that area. Hoping to take the RV down there soon. You wouldn't happen to know of the ideal RV park there would you?

Love2Travel · July 8, 2006

hey jackie.... what kind of rv? we have a very old 25" class c that i have had cross country twice. love rving...and of course travelling all over!

terumim · July 8, 2006

Jackie we go to PUERTO NUEVO half way between TJ and Ensenada...little bit of town ... there are three restaurants and thats about it for the town... but the lobster and margaritas OH YA....i have friends who go all the time with there rv i will check where they park down there for ya... Lobster season starts the first wednesday in OCT... we try to go out with friends on their boat and get some for the freezer... in mexico lobster is about 9 dollars a lobster with all the beans rice you can eat...and they are great size because they don't have the limits as they do here in the states ...so when we order we order two per person sometimes its a little cheaper...depends who ya get for a waiter too LOL LOL .. sometimes you can bargin even the food in the smaller towns ....

we i assume my spainish wasn't very good still no fax from them .. gezzzzzzz

JoeyandDavid · July 8, 2006

You know sometimes here in LA we have to call numerous times before the restaurant will fax us a menu....and it's a local call for them...imagine faxing International....may be a reason.....
