Josh is dressed in his Lederhausen and has his bag sitting next to him. He’s ready to go to Germany to marry Michelle but they have a bad connection because they aren’t using MobileTalk. How will this all work out? Does Michelle know that Josh is on his way to Germany to marry her? Will Josh and his Lederhausen be waiting in Munich while Michelle waits in Frankfurt? Will this marriage ever happen and if it does will it work? Will there ever be any little Hans and Helgas? What will the next chapter be? We may never know if they don’t get a better phone service than those soft drink cans!

As you can see, keeping in touch with family and friends is very important. It may be especially important when those family and friends are living throughout the world.

This is my first effort at publishing a video. Yes, we had a few technical problems and yes, I stumbled over my words some, but after some effort we got a half way decent video together. The idea was so much better in my head. Now I just need to play with the programs a little more to figure things out a little better and I think we can get us a real show going here! Well, we like it anyway :)

So this is my first directorial effort, my husband’s first bonafide producing job and my Soldier Son and soon to be daughter-in-law’s first acting efforts. We shot it in one take, with bad lighting and a new camcorder none of us were familiar with (which explains why its a tad out of focus!).

The point is that Packet8 has a new voip international calling offer, Mobile Talk. There’s just no need to try to get your message across through a cup (or can) and string anymore. Mobile Talk beats most other international calling plans by about 90%. For instance, you can call Germany or Israel for 3 cents per minute. You can call England for 2 cents per minute. See what I mean? That actually costs less than the deal I currently have on my land line at home. It is a LOT less! Its super cheap AND those prices are for high quality digital phone calls. There are no connection fees, no data plan is needed, no calling card or PIN codes are needed and there are no hot spots required. The special rates are only available for calls originated within the United States to another country.
