Hi everyone,
I´m from Germany and planning on doing the PCT next year. I´ve come across 2 major issues that I hope you can help me with....
1: Since i will be travelling with a Visa I am wondering how the whole 'side trip to Canada' will work out. I don´t suppose there are border officials at the monument ;) So I won´t get my 'leaving-the-US-stamp' in my passport.... therefore I am worried what will happen when I re-enter the US via Vancouver-Seattle train ride. Does anyone have any experience with this or know someone who might?
2: Since I´m planning on journaling during my hike (to let my family and friends know I´m doing okay) I was wondering which cell service to use. Is there a monthly plan that I can sign up for without an american social security number and that I can pay for 5 months in advance? Ideally it would have an internet flatrate and cheap international calling and texting rates....
Which company gets the best reception?
Okay, that was a lot, and I hope someone can help me. Looking forward to next year :)
Greetings,
Steffi
