On February 10 Dee and I are leaving for Argentina, Uraguay and Chile for 4 weeks. When I arrive I will get a new SIM and for my phone that I hope will be good for all three countries but especially for Uraguay since i will need GPS in the rental car. This means my regular phone number won’t work. I do have What’sAp so I can make calls to other What’sApp people that we know. WI-Fi is so prevalent that making Whatsapp calls is very easy and typically have FaceTime video. If you want to contact us please use [email protected]
It’s going to be one of the best trips we have ever gone on.
