Even at home with a great internet connection, folks should not post 12MB pics. With that pathetic upload speed, even the tiniest file size may have issues. Start asking the Voom staff what's going on -it's not normal. "Normal" upload for a Stream tier should be around 500Kb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically gives you an extra outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted November 9, 2021 Author #337 Share Posted November 9, 2021 So I’m on my 4th pair of water shoes to find the best ones. So they either have no support or just not comfortable. These Keens are really comfortable and great to walk in. Unfortunately they fit very snug and in the case of Secret Sands Beach yesterday, little shells and rocks got between my feet and the shoes making it very uncomfortable to walk. I found myself taking the shoes off and emptying all the debris and I was good to go again. Anyone have a perfect water shoe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMWT Cruiser Posted November 9, 2021 #339 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Sea Dog, Great trip report, it is certainly building my anticipation for our upcoming cruise! Congrats on the retirement! I retired at the end of 2019, just in time for all of our retirement cruise travel plans to come to a grinding halt! Glad your timing was better than mine... Ramja96, The one I have is called an adapter. You may want to do an Amazon search for "international plug adapter". Just select one with excellent reliable reviews that will work in locations where you are likely to travel. 1 hour ago, ramja96 said: I would love to get one of these.

When you get home you will enjoy the originals in the higher quality settings. Shanon and I was having slow speeds like that and I discovered an AT&T security app was sending me thru a vpn. Turned it off and it went up. Sharon had the Voom staff adjust her iPhone and in a couple of minutes the speed was up. It’s worth letting them try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA What the limitation would be with an adapter (vs. convertor) is that if you tried using this while in Europe (or anywhere they use this "c" plug) in say, someone's home, and then tried plugging in an appliance like a curling iron, you risk burning out the item within seconds, along with possibly blowing the fuses in the home. My daughter's BF learned this the hard way. The curling iron was toast but fortunately no other damage was done. So in that case the convertor would have been handy. I had one on me but I arrived a couple days later to hear the story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
