Deliveries

One thing about being in a marina is that we can have stuff shipped to us, without having to ship to friends and family to then have them deliver to us.  So we've had stuff from Amazon and eBay shipped in.  It's kind of like Christmas, except you already know what's in the package.

We've been having escalating reliability problems with our 3 year old Droid 3 cell phones.   Verizon Wireless has discontinued their unlimited data plan, which we were grandfathered in.  The new "improved" plan would cost us more and give us less.  I learned that since we were past our last two year contract, that if I didn't buy a discounted phones from Verizon but got them from somewhere else, that I could activate the phones under our existing plan, get something newer and more reliable, and get 4G speed.  Maybe.

Yesterday the Samsung Galaxy S4 phone arrived.  It took some time, but no hassles, to get it set up on my line.  Configuring the Android OS on my end was easy.  Everything works, internet is more reliable, and the screen is much more readable for these eyes.  Cindy's phone will arrive early next week.  Same drill, different color.  And we still have unlimited data.
