We had our pre-departure meeting, and we're now ready to go. There really weren't too many questions, so I think the group has been well informed by Mr Boulka, Mrs Lausche, and Mr Borgstrom.
One question that has come up again since the meeting is the use of a calling card overseas. Here is my take on it...
Some cards say “international” on them. This means you can make international calls with them. However, to use the card, the instructions on the back say to call a certain 800-number to access the system. Those numbers won’t work in Germany and Austria. So, you need a number that you can call in those countries to get into their system to use the card. If the calling card you are looking at does not offer this feature, it will not work. AT&T and MCI both have toll-free access numbers in both of these countries (and virtually every country in the world), so I know their calling cards will work.
