We use Verizon for our phones and we have an unlimited Hotspot we purchased from Verizon in 2018. We use the Hotspot as a backup to starlink or when there is good service we skip putting up Starlink. Starlink is our backup for Verizon. We set the phones to support WiFi calling and we are able to make and receive calls. We have been happy with this solution our 57k miles travel through the United States (including Alaska), Canada, and when our Nomadic ways take us to tge Caribbean, Central America, and Europe.

@Lauren Ulledalen where are you planning to cruise?

@Lauren Ulledalen that sounds like a great adventure.

It looks like an incredible adventure. It looks like you are capturing adventure, inspiration, and education on this trip. I am looking forward to see it unfold.

This week I have learned three things. 1. To rethink our brand based on the Brand training in the classroom tab. We settled on the three core items of Education, Inspiring, and Adventure. 2. Ways to improve our videos via the 10 Secrets for videos course in the class room tab. Today I am working on better understanding of our camera equipment. 3. Implementing planning time to improve content and focus on what helps our community.

@Lauren Ulledalen it is going well. Learng the ways to use the camera in different situations, controlling the gimble, different in landscape and portrait modes, video and photos modes, and tracking in video. I am looking at using it when on the go and for more static situations. Using the tracking system expands options over static camera positions. Next up is integrating the wireless mic 🎤 and looking at using a lavaliee mic to work on audio. There are several mic options on the Osmo Pocket 3 to learn about for audio. Addition time will be spent on audio because of the importance of audio. Over all it is going great.

We had a stop in Costa Rica for a cruise we took fir my Dad's 80th Birthday. It was a great stop with adult children. My parents in their late sixties went white water rafting on six rivers in seven days. They had an incredible time in in Costa Rica. This is in there 20 year white water chapter of life between 50's and 70's. Enjoy this incredible oppertunity in Costa Rica. Make memories, check off bucket list items, and of course make lots of memorable content.😉

@Jimi Falin the community will be fine. Enjoy and create!
