    Hey Guys,

    Love your reviews on the travel products. Great information and will use most of these
    items while riding my motorcycle around Ontario Canada this coming summer. Riding a motorcycle space is always at a premium so having these gadgets with most of them doing more than one thing will be a real bonus.

    Thanks again for all your awesome reviews…. You guys are quality content all the way.

    Paul

            You wouldn’t necessarily have to buy it over there. Europe is pretty standardized, the UK included, and most carriers use a variant of the Huawei E589 for their carrier branded Mifi. You could pick one unlocked now for about $250 on Amazon and have her just grab an EE Sim when she gets there.
