Kim and I are living together for a month before she heads to Arkansas for a pre-Italy family visit around September 15. I head to Ohio and then Illinois at the end of the month. (That's September 2008, for posterity or something.)
We talked to our hero, Francis, last week. She gave us the lowdown on our freelance teaching jobs and some advice about what neighborhoods to avoid and whatnot. Really it's only one, which I find reassuring. Now I'm on a mission to find a flat. Once that's settled, the next item weighing on my mind (other than packing) is figuring out this cell phone business.
Not to brag, but I've really mastered the art of cell phone plan and phone selection over the past few years. I'm not afraid to put in the time and research to make sure I'm getting the best deal for me. But now with a new country to figure out, I'm starting all over again! If any of our 6 readers out there in cyberspace have advice, I'd certainly welcome it. I hear the pre-pay plans are more popular in Italy than any other options. We shall see......
In the meantime, take comfort in the fact that Kim and I made some of the best cupcakes ever this past weekend. We hope to pick up mad Italian cooking skills while abroad. Maybe I'll become a chef when this is all said and done!

They seriously were the best cupcakes. Perhaps you can work out some sort of cupcake for cellular service deal. P.S - I am totally going to blog stalk you girls.

for what it's worth. A few years back I bought a mobile phone in the UK, & every time i go back to visit I just 'top up' the balance [there are a gazillion places to do it!!]
The service is thru Virgin Mobile.
If you plan on traveling around Europe make sure that your phone/plan will work where ever you go - TMobile has most/all of Europe covered.
Good luck
