It felt
good to sleep in until 7:00 MST this morning but the moment
that we got out from under the covers we were more then awake. I’d
already started getting things ready for breakfast and doing other
chores before the thought to check the Outside Temperature
occurred to me. Watching the Frost melt off the Truck
showed the Sun was warming things up but watching a Dog’s
Breath as he was being walked told me that it was still too cool
for our liking.
Kathy
let me research where our next stop will be as well as where we’ll
spend the night before continuing on tomorrow.
Our
first destination was to the local Verizon
outlet. We try to pay our monthly fees for our MiFi
Hotspot on time but Verizon
doesn’t make it easy. Because we don’t have a permanent US
Address we are not allowed to take care of our
account On-Line. Around the end of this past
summer if we called from a phone that is not registered as a Verizon
Line their automated system tells you that “Our records show
that you are not a Customer” and hangs up on you. I was
able to call from Canada by going
through their Tech Support but the last time they told me to
call the number that hangs up on me and would not put me through.
Great Customer Service!
Today
after paying my bill at the outlet the young woman called the
Customer Service Number for me to voice my
concerns. When they answered she accidentally hung up the phone twice
because of her Two Inch Long Finger Nails touching the wrong
buttons. Finally talking to Jackson he recommended that I dial *67
before the Customer Service Number so the
Computer wouldn’t know that the phone I was calling from
wasn’t one of theirs and should let me in.
I also
complained that our MiFi Plan was supposed to
work in Canada but didn’t which
ended up costing me for a Cable Connection back home. When he
checked our records he said that option, even though I had been
paying for it had never been activated. He activated it for us and
hopefully when we go back to Canada
in the spring we won’t have a repeat of needing a Cable
Connection.
We went
next door to the Dollar Tree
where everything is a Dollar and picked up a few things that
we’ll use to wrap the Christmas Gifts.
We took our time and did some people watching in the process. It was
funny watching a Three Year Old telling his mother that he
needed to buy a toy.
Back
Home at the Dream
Catcher RV Park we had to get creative. Living in our Home
on wheels and preferring to purchase Gifts
for our Loved Ones rather then Gift Cards means we have
to Store and Transport them while not leaving them in
plain view. After Kathy added them to her Spreadsheet I got
really creative on putting everything away. Gifts!
Where? We’ll see them again in the spring.
Tomorrow
we’ll be back on the road as we make our way into Arizona.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and
Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Nice to find a different place to eat and the food looks good! Never fun dealing with certain companies for sure. You'd think with online it would be the same and you wouldn't need an address, just a credit card..geez! Congrats on getting all your Christmas shopping done for next year!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping everything goes well on the next leg of the journey.
ReplyDeleteI figure all those Verizon problems are given to me so my brain will keep active trying to figure out what the heck they are doing!!
ReplyDeleteWhen we stayed at Dream Catcher (more than once) this time of year, we never had water until about 9:30. Their lines are close to the surface and would freeze up. Always had to use water from our tank in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started on Verizon. After 2+ months of trying to get their Cantenna hooked up at the house, still nothing. Five appointments made, 5 no-shows. Hours and hours on the phone each time to be transferred to someone else. One time it was THREE hours on the phone. Always apologies but no action. We gave up.
We too had a Mifi that was to work in Canada or Mexico. HOWEVER the Canadian carriers aren't getting paid for YOUR usage on your Verizon Mifi and will limit the amount of use to ABOUT 512 mb per day before slowing it way, way, way down to the point it isn't useable. They didn't tell anyone about that little tid bit until I called at one point this past summer season to complain about the speed.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels.
Interesting to know. Over the years I have gone through the whole gambit of different carriers while here in the state. About 4 years ago went with Rogers with roam as you go. So then it was $5 a day 10 days maximum for the month. This year it is $7 a day but 15 days maximum a month. So over 50% increase in the 4 years. No wonder all carriers have such bad reviews.
DeleteAren't you going to share your hiding spots:)
ReplyDeleteI do not like Verizon and I will leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteCan't belive it's below freezing down there!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Verizon has pretty bad customer service.
