We are almost on our way ... 20 Jan 17 is the designated FIRE date.
We sold our "big house" (kids, etc in Fairfax, VA) in Sep, temporarily located to the Smith Mountain Lake place we bought a few years ago and then bought a small house in Pensacola, FL to start the residency dance. We will probably summer in Virginia at the lake and end up wintering in south Florida - with travel in between.
While a nit, I will lose my "corporate" Windows phone (a good thing as it isn't a great smart phone), and will get an iPhone of some sort ... wife already has one so we will have commonality (also will be switching to Mac to be common with her Mac ... just easier with common OS, etc.)
We will be doing the usual travel thing ... last year in NL and FR was a hoot (way more fun than I thought it would be) ... maybe Germany to Italy this year. (ex: T-Mobile supposedly as better Euro coverage than other options)
BTW - we probably would use in the range of 4-8 GB per month, given travel, etc ...the Smith Mountain Lake has pretty poor options for ISPs, so we just live off my wife's iPhone and OTA (over the air) broadcast TV (which is actually not bad).
Given our locations and broad plan, I thought perhaps there are others who went through the same process recently and perhaps even the same general areas - who could comment on their experiences with the telecom companies?
Thanks!!
