The new guest who arrived Thursday night was never seen again by me. And no lights or coming and going that I noticed last night or this morning. Strange.
The trip is about done. I am still trying to activate my extra phone, but, Virgin Mobile support is not up to it.
They put my service on hold when I reported it was stolen, but apparently kept the subscription meter running. After getting instructions to activate, I couldn't get anything to work, I then tried to make a payment but that wouldn't work either. Customer service verified that there was a problem and offered to do it for me. That's the last I've heard.
Since customer service is somewhere "over there" I probably have to wait until that person comes back to work "tomorrow". Oh well! The phone service itself is fine and cheap. I looked into getting a pay as you go cheapie phone when I return to buy time. Apparently as cheap as $10, but not stocked in the store. I'll have to wait until I'm stateside.
I can't set the time on my backup phone. It's a vicious circle. No service. Can't download apps without service even though I can access net via wifi. This means I don't have a clock without booting the laptop.
I really meant to buy a cheap wrist watch, but I haven't needed to know the time for the last month. I just look at the sun. Kind of nice, really.
A lot of sitting coming as I travel home. I will have time to look around in Mexico city this afternoon and have a nice dinner. Alain (the rental agent) thinks I should take a tour. We'll see. I'll probably just walk around and explore a little bit.
Later, in Mexico City
Today's flight went wonderfully. The airplane is just perfect for this type of flight. We had thirty or so. full load is 50 I think (12x4+2). It is amazing how big Mexico City is from the air. I got a taxi with no problem he drove here straight away without getting lost. The people in the Hotel are friendly and even let on they understand a little English. And, there is an hour time zone between Puerto Escondido and Mexico City.
It's a nice looking room. No?
And , on the cellular front. No News. To reply. Looks like I'm going in phone-less. Dumb shits. Oh Well. My son in law is a competent man. He'll be there.
Virgin mobile thinks my phone is stolen. sheeesh. When I bought it, It checked okay. Luckily, I have the email address of the previous owner.
AAAK!
It turns out the previous owner isn't. He bought it used from from some senior citizens from New Port Richy and never used it. He is looking for their contact info. "No problem" he says!!
I think a $20 flip phone is in my immediate future.
