I am an American living on the Normandy-Brittany border in France. My family and I will be living here for at least 2 more years. I want a cell phone that I can use as my main phone. I need to know what the best service plan would be for me. I make daily phone calls to the United States and locally. I’d also like a cell phone with which I can check my email, send instant messages, and take pictures. Please help!

I will be renting a car from Paris airport to Normandy Beaches, is it easy to understand the French roadway and signs, get gas, get directions, etc. if you don’t speak English? Is it safe? Should I feel comfortable to explore places along the way to the beaches?

Some people in high places viewed and were impressed with my film “Dogs of War” and have given me the opportunity to shoot and direct a much larger and expensive war picture. Yes, we now have access to tanks, trucks, jeeps, and motorcycles…not to mention much more authentic uniforms and weapons.
