Jason: Yah the problem I find with roam mobility is no one knows your american number so you don't get any text messages from home. Incoming msgs are free so I just try to limit outgoing and it doesn't cost a heck of a lot more, or for instance, I am with Koodo they offer US plans for X amount of days.

On the topic of the shootout I may shorten my visit and leave Sunday as the wife has been asked to host something Monday afternoon back home and with the slightly lower turnout this year, we shall see. I have until the 12th to modify my reservation.
