Comment on What is the best way to give phone access to someone traveling in Europe? by Willeke

All countries in Europe have different systems for cards with which you can use a payphone.
The cards you could use are rather difficult to use, if you are in a panic, as you need to phone a different number in each country, and after that you need to enter a code, 15 digits or so.

If the family member is only going to one country it will be easier, and you could also get a phone card for that country, but it might still be confusing.

A mobile (cell) phone might be the best if not cheapest option.
We have dual (or triple) band phones here, as some countries use different systems.

Check the sites of several providers where you live to see what they offer in world wide (or Europe wide) covering, at what cost and so on.
Here we often use pre-paid phone contracts, so we do not pay per month, but just for usage. If you can get a system like that, check about how to get more money in the account when the phone is here in Europe.

calling cards are probably the easiest way to go. they’re not cheap but they are convenient. and if you don’t need to have long conversation they’re not as bad way to go.
if you want him to have a phone you have to make sure it’s a gsm phone. those are the only kind that will work in europe. currently only at&t offers gsm phones and to use it overseas i believe requires an extra monthly fee plus roaming charges. but he will be able to use it wherever/whenever instead of having to hunt down a pay phone.

Before contacting a travel agent do some research. A good place to start is Yahoo Travel. You can check out package deals, theme events, etc, etc.. The last time I did a vacation in the Caribbean vacation my family and I sail a 50ft. sail boat through the grenadines for eight days. They are a small chain of islands south of St. Vincent and north of Trinidad. It was the most incredible experience. We hired a guide to get us through the reefs and the trip is beyond explanation and pictures.

Comment on How long does it take a single piece of first-class mail to go from Texas to Durham, UK? by mom2rptl

I am not sure, but I would suggest spending the extra for Global Priority. I sent something from Texas to Spain. It cost me around $9 (but it was not a letter- it was a package) and got there in 3 days. If you need to get it there by a certain time, that is definately the way to go and worth the extra cost.

You spend money for value.
If you don’t think it’s valuable to you, don’t buy it! No need to call me an asshole. You have the purchasing power to do that

Go do a google search if you want free information. There’s a lot you can find. Good luck swarming through all the advertisement driven info…
