New cell phones

After we finished breakfast this morning, Mike called Tallahassee RV Park to get a reservation for tomorrow night and Friday night when we go to Tallahassee to attend his cousin's funeral.

We had planned on going over to the Silver River Museum and walking down one of the trails to the Silver River this morning. But the 40% chance of rain became 100%, so that was out.

I had been working on our genealogy last night on Ancestry.com and kept having problems with slow response time or having to click a link 2 or 3 times to before it would work. I found out this morning what the problem was – our Verizon broadband modem died. I tried plugging it into our other laptop and nothing – Windows kept saying the USB device had malfunctioned!

Mike called Verizon and we located a Verizon store near Silver River State Park. He also called Tech Support and explained our problem with the broadband modem. Our Verizon USB 720 modem is out of warranty (of course). Since we’re going to have to purchase something to replace it, the technician recommended getting the Verizon MiFI modem/router.

Anyway, long story short, we bought a MiFi modem/router (there was a $50 rebate) and we got new cell phones (also $50 rebate on each phone). We were entitled to an upgrade on our phones and we got 2 Samsung phones that have walky-talky capabilities.

We stopped at Walmart after leaving Verizon to get a few groceries before heading back to the RV. It was pouring rain so hard by the time we finished, that we had to wait several minutes before we could get to the car. Hopefully this rain will be over by tomorrow morning when we break camp.
