Yes, follow Allan's directions to create a ticker - adds a bit of fun and anticipation!

Also yes, you can just get a local SIM card for less, but we have multiple adults and teens who want wifi access on their devices, so the mobile hotspot usually comes out cheaper for us, especially with any significant data usage. With Cello you can have 5 devices connected at once. Not sure about XCom.

We arrive in Tortola on June 28, thru July 6. Will be on a Sunsail 444 cat, not yet sure which one. This year the itinerary is wide open, just our family (two teen boys) as our regular tag-alongs couldn't make it this year. Hoping to see folks out there!
