The phones worked fine in Perpignan when we were leaving and called Nikolas to taxi us to Girona. But in Girona, and again in Lithuania, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patandlewtravel.wordpress.com&blog=758402&post=812&subd=patandlewtravel&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

On the day we left Collioure (May 15), I demonstrated Sling Box to Pat’s cousin Renee, who would, with her husband Gary, occupy our apartment for part of the time we were gone. A few hours later, Sling Box no longer worked. After 10 days away, it was still not working.
My first thought was that something [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patandlewtravel.wordpress.com&blog=758402&post=275&subd=patandlewtravel&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, we had great difficulty understnding how to obtain French phones and add additional minutes.
This year, it was easy.

May 1, 2008. 
 
We arrived in Collioure after 24 hours travel, with no problems. Our first stop, after unpacking the car, was a pizza and beer in town, where we were greeted by our friend and waitress Sophie. The French pizza, as always, was excellent. 
The next day, we used the rental car to shop [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patandlewtravel.wordpress.com&blog=758402&post=272&subd=patandlewtravel&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

French mobile telephones (nobody in Europe, except us, says cell phone) are next on our list. We go to the Orange store, this being the France Telecom outlet, and also SFR, which is the French representative for Vodaphone. At SFR, we learn that they offer phones and you can “top up” minutes on the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patandlewtravel.wordpress.com&blog=758402&post=256&subd=patandlewtravel&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
