Ping!

One more "getting ready" task done...

I don't want to rely on my cellphone for this trip. Yes, it is traveling with me, but calls from Canada are not on my plan, and they are international calls. I could change my cell plan to lower the cost of those calls, but I suspect that cell phone coverage may be spotty.

I was going to pick up a pre-paid calling card. Before I did that I went googling, and I came up with Pingo. The per minute call rate is reasonable, and the service gets good reviews. Done!

Oh, you're right, I do like the name.
