Montana

I'm going to Montana for a few days in June. My sister purchased my plane tickets last night. I'm pretty excited about going however, I'm dreading flying. I have a layover in Denver at which time I'll be sitting, doing absolutely nothing, for like 3 hours. I really hate flying. I requested a window seat, even though looking out the window makes me feel ill, because I'd rather have the wall to lean on than have to sit straight for 2 hours, trying not to touch the person beside me. This is probably my biggest hangup with flying. I hate trying not to bother the person beside me. And,,,, I really hate when their leg or arm touches me! This shouldn't be a big deal, but it really annoys me. My trip to Montana is going to take about 6 hours. This does not include my time at the DSM airport. The trip back to DSM is only going to take about 4 hours. I'm not very big on waiting.

I was thinking about purchasing a broadband card from Verizon or Sprint to use while I'm traveling to Montana because I was going to take the train. The train ride would have been 22 hours, which would have been horribly boring since I was traveling alone. However, I'm no longer taking the train so I'm not sure I really need the card, but I kind of want one. We have a wireless network at home, so I don't need it here. I was thinking I would purchase the card and only keep it while I'm traveling, then return it under that 30 day return thing.

Therese says the only carrier in the valley that has decent coverage is Verizon. I can get a discount with both Sprint and Verizon, but I don't know which to go with. Maybe I should have Therese get the card, test it out, then send it to me if it works out. I just checked Sprint's coverage map and the valley is ALL roaming. That won't work! I checked Verizon's page. They have broadband and V-Cast coverage in the valley, although I'm not sure what V-Cast is.

On the phone now, so bye bye!
