Skype--International Communication At It's Best

My best friend Ceccy is returning to the States on September 27th -- that's 11 days. (not that I'm counting!) She'll either be living in New York or Minnestoa. Either way, I figure she's closer than Portugal. Somehow I will be making a trip in the next month to see her!

We have however, been using the wonderful world of Skype to talk back and forth. Seriously, this is the way to go. Even the paid services are WAY CHEAP. I wish it would've been around when I was travelling internationally. You can do domestic talking as well(for a small fee). All you need is a microphone on your computer. At the very minimum, only one person really needs the mic on the computer and they can call your cell or land line! It's a sweet gig.
