Okaaay sorry that I have missed a couple of days I was away in LA. I got into a little bit of a mess with a company that I used to work for so now I am fighting back. All good news of course until the day that I was leaving to drive back 7 hours to San Francisco my phone breaks. Yes I drove because if you do not know, everyone needs a car of some sort to get around in LA. It was cheaper to rent a car and drive than to fly and then rent a car from the airport.
Quick little tip: If renting a car try to rent it from a local rental car location instead of the airport. Sometimes these local locations are not much farther away than the ones that are right at the airport. It is usually cheaper (I would've said always but I do not want to guarantee anything). The local locations of the same companies such as Enterprise, Dollar, etc. do not have to charge a tourist fee which is automatically charged when you rent a car from an airport. These locations usually do not have return prices too for after hours, but some locations do have a drop box for the keys for after hours. So you can still drop your car off and leave to get on your way. Also these places may have more options available so you have the pick of the lot.
So due to my phone completely breaking on me, both hardware and software I wanted to get a new one. I needed something right away for the GPS to help me get back to San Francisco. I also would have liked a phone that can make phone calls, crazy I know. Just in case something went wrong. I'm a woman traveling alone late at night needs to be able to call for help. The apple store at The Grove was not much help. This does not mean that I am going to write a bad review or anything. I actually like Apple's service and I've had times where they have helped me more than Verizon can. This time it was the other way around. Due to the fact that I've had my phone for so long the power button that stopped working was no longer under warranty, that was the hardware issue. I also had software issues because of all of my storage used up on my phone. So now I have two phones one with more music and notes on it the other with practically nothing on it.
I am looking into upgrading my phone to the 5s because right now I have the 5 and I can do a quick upgrade in the next two weeks. I need to look into the differences but I'm sure that the 5s is better that the 5 or else they wouldn't have made it.
I'm hitting the hay. I haven't slept much last night since I got in at 3:15 and I had an 8:30 class so four hours is plenty of rest right. (I included the hour before class that I have to shower and get ready and what not.) I'll catch up on my adventures again!
