New travel rule - the phone is essential

 When we first started traveling to Europe they didn’t have cell phones. You trudged through pay phones, train stations, and ticket booths. The weather was a guess as were restaurant hours. This leads to a new travel rule:

The phone is a travel essential.  You use it for:

- Tickets/Passes - buying, storage and display

- Paying for stuff

- Weather 

- Time tables for attractions

- Making reservations 

- Translation when my poor foreign language skills fail me 

- Maps and navigation- walking and driving 

- And blogging of course

We paid an arm and a leg to keep our exiting phone numbers here. A SIM card (in Italy use TIM) works just as well and is cheaper by a lot.
