Barbara (Mom) arrived at Gatwick airport this morning.
After braving a rail ride from Gatwick Rail Station to Paddington station (yes there is a statue of the bear there), she grabbed a tube ride to St Pancras International rail station.
Believe it or not, that was the easiest part of the journey.
For some reason her phone can not text Jenna without Wifi.
I think it is because she (Jenna) has a UK Sim card (no it is not!).
Quick call to ATT while I Viber'ed Barb, from my cellphone, and we found that her international roaming was turned off.
Turned international roaming "on" and she can now text using data.
The part I missed from her was that she could not text anybody off of WiFi.
I was trying to give her walking instructions from the US.
Needless to say, this was not going to well with a response "I am across the street from the gym ..." and me telling her that she has to go south, just was not working!
Without a cross street, this was useless.
She went back into the train station and received explicit directions from an Eurostar employee.
Then she made it to Jenna's dorm without incidence.
