Hello Everybody!
So I will be traveling on a program called Semester at Sea and this blog will detail my life while on the voyage. My boyfriend Ryan will also be traveling with me and he swears he wants this blog to be from the both of us but I have a feeling you're not going to hear much from him. Anyway, the itinerary is as follows:
Nassau, Bahamas...........................................................Feb. 4
San Juan, Puerto Rico...................................................Feb.7-9
Salvador, Brazil..............................................................Feb. 17(my bday)-21
Cape Town, South Africa.............................................Mar. 2-8
Port Louis, Mauritius...................................................Mar. 15-17

Hi Erika & Ryan

Hi Ryan & Erika,
Puerto Rico is on our national plan for our phones so is free from your phone to Connor or me or anyone on cingular, and goes against our 1000 minutes just as if you were here in Camarillo.
For all other ports I checked on the international calling for Ryan's phone and paid the $5.95 per month (on my tab-not yours) to activate it. Please use sparingly because the per minute charges are hefty. I left the paper at work that I have the prices on but I think that the Bahamas are $1.99 per minute. If you call me or Connor there is no charge on our receiving end since we share minutes, but it is still $1.99 from your end. If you call anyone else it is my understanding that they pay an even larger per minute charge--maybe 50 cents more per minute if they aren't on an ATTorCingular international plan. If they are, then it is the same cost as yours.
I think the only place you can't call from is South Africa, but I will check on that again because the website says you can on cingular. From Japan you need a certain megahertz phone to make it work.
Anyway--I'll get you the details and keep track of the $. It is up to you to use as you will. There may be a time or two that you need to use it to contact someone else in your group to save alot of headaches, but again $$$. It is way cheaper to call us with the International calling card (I think?) (except in Puerto Rico where your cell is like here.)
Glad you're having a great time.
Erika--were the guys you were watching play volleyball like the ones in the movie "Top Gun"? Ha!
Love,
Mamamats.
