Aw geez, tail bones are the worst...maybe next to ribs. Best wishes for a comfortable and speedy recovery! Read More

US expat end of life arrangements? by gcvt
I don鈥檛 mean to get too dark here, but I have to ask. I tried searching the forum, as I always do, but couldn鈥檛 find anything. I've been thinking about end of life arrangements (Wills, Power of attorney, Trusts, etc.) for those who ...

Stupid newbie question alert! Could you buy a plane ticket including travel insurance, show up at the US airport, check in multiple heavy bags, pay the baggage fees, "get sick", go home, have the bags flown to POP airport without you and ... Read More

maltagracia, I asked about DirecTV Now on the 'official' ATT/DirecTv Now forum back in July and got this response... I've also tried using a VPN when travelling outside the US, and that didn't work either on DTVN or on Netflix. ... Read More

Thanks again all. Don't worry about me haha. I've traveled almost all over the world in my 49 years (and fully realize how lucky I am to have done so) and have seen it all. I have a good sense of humor but it is a little dry. Maybe some ... Read More
