In some areas of the country, temperatures have already begun to hover below the freezing point and meteorologists predict an even chillier winter ahead. If you’re like many Americans shivering in their boots, we recommend a trip that involves a little less salt on the road and a little more salt in the margarita.

When the weather up north is frightful, we suggest packing your bags and heading south! We’ve compiled our favorite 5 Warm Weather Winter Getaways:

Galveston, Texas

Galveston Pier At DuskThe City of Galveston has experienced the long-lasting and devastating effects of two major hurricanes that have pummeled this coastal community in the last century or so. Even still, the City of Galveston has made a commitment to rebuild. Today, it stands as a favorite warm-weather getaway for both couples and families alike.

Orlando, Florida

If you are wondering how well the T-Mobile International Pass or Simple Global International Data Work when traveling internationally, you will find this article very helpful.

NB: This article is based on our experiences with T-Mobile when traveling around the world.

Is Simple Global International Data worth it?

Yes and No. That’s because it depends on the destination you are traveling to. 

However, on most of our international travels, it has always worked fine, and only had a few problems in some countries that we visited.

NOTE: These are the countries on the list of 215+ countries covered by the T Mobile International plan.

See the List of 215+ Countries Covered by T-Mobile International Plan.

I’d recommend you check out our previous articles on T-Mobile coverage in the following destinations.

Yes.

Based on our experiences, T-Mobile worked very well in Qatar.

Immediately we arrived, we instantly started roaming. It was stress-free!

T-Mobile alternatives to help you stay connected while in Qatar

Getting a local SIM card when traveling abroad is usually a great option if you are looking for a cheaper option, especially when you are traveling to Qatar on a budget.

Personally, I used Ooredoo SIM while in Qatar. I also used it when registering on Ehteraz.

Vodafone is also a great option if you want to get a local SIM card in Qatar.

If you plan on getting a local SIM card in Qatar, it is important to note that SIM cards usually have certain validities for tourists/people visiting Qatar.

NOTE:
If you decide to get the Ooredoo SIM and want to

If you are traveling outside the US and wonder if T-Mobile has good coverage in Spain, you will find this article very helpful.

This is based on our first-hand experience using T-Mobile in Spain.

How is T-Mobile coverage in Spain?

When we arrived in Spain, the data speeds were very slow. However, the speed improved after we received the T-Mobile welcome to Spain message.

Generally, our experience with T-mobile throughout Spain (mostly in the Southern and Eastern parts of Spain) on the 2G data was very slow, but the speeds improved when we purchased an add-on.

However, we realized that this was also an expensive alternative.

NOTE:
From experience, if you have a postpaid plan when traveling to Spain, you may end up getting very slow data speeds.

If you are wondering how T-Mobile is in Egypt, we are going to share our experiences with T-Mobile during our last visit to Egypt in August this year.

Nb: We purchased the International pass for this trip.

Is the T-Mobile International Pass worth it in Egypt?

Yes. T-Mobile worked well in some locations but roaming didn’t work at all in some.

Generally, most of the time roaming didn’t work as it had in all the countries that we had visited before and after our Egypt trip.

For instance, in Jordan and Israel, we never had any issues with T-Mobile coverage.

Some of the places where T-Mobile worked well in Egypt included:

  • On the Nile river.
  • Near Dahab and some other remote areas.

We experienced terrible service in Cairo. However, calls worked well compared to data.

In case you are traveling to Italy and wonder whether T-Mobile will be reliable, you will find this article very helpful.

This is based on our first-hand experience using T-Mobile in Italy.

Does T-Mobile offer good coverage in Italy? 

T-Mobile works well in Italy and has decent data speeds.

However, we received very low data speeds in some locations on our second trip. We couldn’t manage to load some web pages.

So, I would say that good T-Mobile data speeds will depend on the places you are visiting in Italy.

How is T-Mobile calling in Italy?

We experienced no issues calling back home (US) during our trip to Italy. It was clear with no network issues.

RV Maintenance Tips

RV Maintenance is one of those things we all try to put off until we absolutely have to do it. There are some things that even when we finally get around to doing, most of us are doing wrong. There is one item in this article that I didn’t even know we had to do! The ice forming on the inside of one of our walls could have been avoided, and I’m going to tell you how.

It’s no secret by now that no matter what you spent on your RV, the craftsmanship could be better. That being said, they do twist and bounce a lot going down the road, which can lead to things loosening or shifting.

Mold In RV

That exact scenario is what led to ice literally forming on the inside of our camper one January morning, and then having to remove the wall paneling and insulation.

It’s always a big question. Probably one of our top questions. So we took the time to break it down and calculate what does living in an RV Full Time cost. It should be noted that this was our expenses for the year. Many people ask if this is a less expensive way to live. I believe it can be. However, for our first year, that was not the case.

Being honest here… It cost a lot more in our first year than we anticipated. And a lot more than we budgeted for. As we go through some of the categories, we can go over why this happened.

Diesel

Right now, at the time this article is being written, the average price for a gallon of diesel is $5.32 in the USA. There were places it was cheaper. Certainly places it was more expensive. And we did our traveling over
