Wouldn't it be nice if someone started a business where they would ship the phones to you prior to your trip? That way you could have the phone number prior to your departure to give to friends/family and wouldn't have to hassle with finding a way to the phone store (I know you can stop along the way IF you have a private driver, but staying at Couples, that will not be happening), or waiting in any line burning up that valuable vacation time. I'm sure there are ins and outs of this to make it difficult to do, but it sure would be nice, especially since we need 2 phones this trip, one for someone flying in at a later date than us, would be nice to have that connection when he arrives at the airport.
