DAY #173
Decided that I wanted to upgrade my tablet. Did I need to? Was there anything wrong with the one I had? No, and no, but that little voice in my head began to speak to me in that ‘I want it’ dialect and I was helpless.
I had been looking at the new iPad Air 10.5″ online and the more I looked the more convinced I became that I just had to get it. Did some checking and found that there was one available at a Verizon store in Columbia. I called to make sure they had one and when they confirmed they did, I was off.
I decided to stick with Verizon. I know I’ve had issues connecting with their service numerous times on the journey but the fact is, none of the others are really any better. Plus by buying from Verizon on a two year contract, I saved $200.00. That was enough to push me over the edge to stay with them.
The transaction and switch over from my old tablet which I traded in and got a whopping $31.00, went seamless, and I was now the proud owner of a Apple iPad Air.

I was so worn out from all the excitement that I had to go back to the campsite and recharge for the rest of the day.
