After three weeks in Switzerland (and an afternoon in France) I am back home again. I began my writing telling about the internet connectivity I had chosen for my trip. So now it is time to tell how well it worked for me. You may recall I selected a Vodaphone plan to take away. It was one of their Red plans - the $50 one. 
The marketing suggests I would get
Infinite standard minutes in Aust
Infinite Text in Oz and OS
Infinite Voice mail
Infinite 13 and 1800 calls
and $65 of stuff I did not think I wanted or needed.
All of this would translate internationally to 47 other countries including Switzerland for $5 per day used overseas.
It seemed very good so we need to ask, Did it Deliver?

QF 8089 DXB - GVA. A 777 200. Smaller than the 777 300 for the ADL - DXB flight
Seems to have been an age in planning, but finally I am on the way to Europe. First flight is ADL -DXB. then a few hours wait for the DXB-GVA leg. I am quite excited to be flying into Geneva. Seems like a small friendly airport and must be somewhat better to arrive at than CDG, LHR, AMS, FRA. The usual points of entry for Australians to Europe. But first I have to get my comms all up to speed. This story will be about the comms solution I chose. 
As I write this I am sitting Dubai airport - DXB. I have been wandering about for a couple of hours hearing all the Arabic speech. Now I am at the gate for GVA all I can hear is French. 
Wonderful. 
Anyway...

    I love to travel but don't get to as much as I want. Occasionally I get to make a trip. When I do I'll post a few pics and thoughts about my places. I'll also drag out a few old photos from time to time and remember my time in those exotic places.
