Also fortunate is the choice to use the Google Hangouts Dialer for calls to and from the US so that we could use the more widely available Data connections and not need the traditional voice network.

What I did not expect was the utter silence in the Chunnel train. Not one person talking to another, no laughter, not even an overly-loud phone conversation. This was disturbing. I expected a party car, especially since a couple of train cars away was a bar, and people were only slightly more talkative there. I can only guess that the availability of Wi-Fi modified the structure of social interaction. I hope the messages weren't, "Guess where I am!" Would cat videos be better?
Coming up, the biggest roaming surprise.
