Today, I received our actual rail tickets for our weekend in Belgium. I have to admit, as much as the convenience of e-ticket travel has changed the world, I love the feel of actually holding a real piece of paper in my hand. Senior prices only apply to weekday travel, so I saved a total of $6 on the return ticket, which prompted my mom to make the excellent point that she's a senior citizen on weekends too.
And I discovered my mobile phone doesn't work in Europe. However, Verizon has a cool service that allows you to rent a global phone that you return once you're back in the United States. It'll be nice to have a phone in case I need to call Serge if the trains are late, which in Europe is highly unlikely. Now don't be thinking I'll answer any calls when I'm on vacation. If I see a number that's not European, off to voicemail you go. Read the blog, it's a lot cheaper. Senior discount be damned.
