Where Has Judalon Been? MUST HAVE APPS.

I have been non-stop traveling & had computer challenges along the way, so forgive my lack of posts. I'll try to catch you up with all the fun & exciting things happening in travel. While in Mexico I had my hard drive go out on me. They do have an Apple store in Cabo, but I didn't want to waste travel time dealing with it & unless they had everything in stock I wouldn't have been there when parts arrived. Thank goodness for iPhone... all Smart Phones for that matter. With Smart Phones one can at least check email: in a foreign country keep it in "airplane mode" and tap into FREE WIFI at your hotel or a local Starbucks (yes, even in Cabo there is the famous Seattle brew).

I was turned on to a great APP called TEXTFREE with VOICE: unlimited texting and pic messaging, while they last you get your own free number, text from the web, Facebook chat from the app, free texting to Australia, Canada, China, UK, France and at least a dozen more.

Another one many of our group used in Cancun was HeyTell which is free, but in Cabo I learned Voxer Walkie Talkie is faster, group chats, sign up with your Facebook account and you are instantly connected with your FB friends also using Voxer, and it's all FREE! These apps are nice because the resort we were at didn't have a voice message system on your room phone so we could stay in touch without roaming or expensive cell charges.
