As I am loading luggage into the vans at the airport, something dislodges my cellphone and it’s case from my belt. I notice once we arrive at the place where we spend the night that they are missing. I look for it in the vans. Les calls it so we can perhaps track it down as it rings, but nothing. It’s too bad because I have about $30 of minutes on it.<\/p>\n
So the next day, I have half an hour to buy a new cell phone and I do. It is a tough choice between the cheapest and the most expensive. The most expensive one ($273) has Bluetooth<\/a> and can play MP3s and videos and take pictures… The cheap one ($35) has nothing – not even a cable to connect to the computer – just like my old phone. I research the expensive one, a Samsung, on an Apple<\/a> website to see if it is compatible with the software I use so I can synchronize my address book and calendar wirelessly. It isn’t on the list, but it might be compatible!!<\/i> So I get the cheap one (which includes such games as Snake (high score 240), Yahtzee, and Rapid Roll). The purchase includes $15 of phone time and double value for the first phone card I add each of the next 5 months (not a bad deal at all!).<\/p>\n I find the lost phone the same day I buy the new phone. It is under all the luggage in one of the vans. <\/p>\n I’ve got a lot of talking to do now.<\/p>\n[I use a Nokia 1110<\/a> with a Tigo<\/a> phone plan]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I am loading luggage into the vans at the airport, something dislodges my cellphone and it’s case from my belt.
