For the first time on our trip we were sleeping through the night. Then someone called my cell phone at 3:00 am (this is 6 pm on a Friday for those of you on the west coast). With Mom sick my first thoughts were panicky - then I looked at the phone number: 828-581-9701. This is a number from North Carolina according to my phone. I looked back and I've been called by this number before. A solicitor. 3 AM and a solicitor is calling me on my cell phone. To add insult to injury in Europe any call I get on my phone costs me $1, even if I don't pick it up. I don't know if you're aware of this but there's a bill in front of congress to allow solicitators to call cell phones (a modification to the Telephone Consumers Protection Act) - the idea is to open up cell phones to robo calls from debt collectors etc. That's gonna cause some grief for those of us that travel abroad. Oh and please feel free to spam this bozo with prank calls.
