Going away on vacation (outside of USA).

Cell usage is going to be a fortune, so I want to get some type of a walkie talkie to communicate with travel companion at the resort.

While doing research I ran into the alphabet soup of abbreviations for different type of walkie talkie technologies = FRS, GMRS, eXRS. :shrug:

Did anyone have any good experience using a walkie talkie during vacation?

Any recommendations on equipment?

Thanks ;D
