Hi Folks...I didnt find much information on this subject yet...
My wife and I are going to the Eastern Cape of SA in April for our first Africa trip (actually first overseas trip anywhere!), and I am figuring out the best way of staying in touch with home. Why, I have asked myself because certainly Mr Roosevelt was totally out of touch with home with his year in Africa way back when....
I was originally going to bring our laptop computer for e-mailing, but our Iphones have internet /email capability, we use Spectrum (Verizon). We will not be constantly online, just likely a daily message back and forth to be sure all is ok with our son who is house/dog watching for us.
What about texting? Of course that is simpler than needing to get online. Thoughts, practices?
