Thought that I would update the list on what I found out about SIM
cards and travel to the EuroZone which includes a few other countries
like Switzerland which are not part of the EU. The S...something
countries? I opted for O2 mainly because we used it last time and I
know where the office is, just across Princes St from Waverley where we
will be arriving. Super convenient and last time they set us up and
installed the new SIMs for us in a few minutes. They offer roaming in
the EU at no additional charge. I know, it's a long way from France but
we'll get to that. I think we'll go with the £15 30gb plan. Maybe the
£10 for my wife since we'll use more data on my phone. WhatsApp for
calls home when we have wifi but I will never use unknown wifi for
anything else.

Short version: So we decided to fly into Glasgow because we wanted to
spend some time in the borders and prefer to travel by land than at
35000'. So we'll take the fast train to London and the EuroStar to Lyon
and rent a car there. And we get to see the country. From there to
northern Italy where my grandparents were born and down to Avignon
where a friend lives nearby for half the year. She married/divorced
well. Drop the car and head back on the EuroStar. A quick visit to the
V&A Museum and the Lake District. The weather will probably be crap but
we don't care :)
