Hello, all! I will be moving to Napoli on Oct. 21. I am signed up with Couchsurfing.com and already have a few friends there from my trip in June/July. But of course I would love to meet more people, so if you live there, please let me know!

Also, I am looking for information on:
1) kennels
2) cell phones

I will be taking my small dog with me. I know my employer is going to fly me back to the US for about 5 days at some point to do visa paperwork and such. I will need a kennel to leave my doggy in. He is a 15 year old Bichon, so he needs some extra tender, loving care. Any recommendations?

What is the best company to get a cell phone from? I will need both the phone itself and a service plan. I have avoided having a cell phone here in the US for as long as I could. I don't think I'll be able to do the same over there, as everyone I know seems to communicate exclusively be cellular. I am not likely to be a power user, so I don't need the newest, fanciest model. Just something for calling, voicemail, and text messaging.

Thanks so much!

Ciao,
SistaWeotch :)
