If you find a hot spot with Internet access, then you can go online.

Most Motels have free access. So just depends on how close one is to the beach.

But for me last year when I went on vacation I took my laptop and it was the worse thing I could have done after all it was supposed to be vacation not surfing online. so this year mine will stay home.

smash, the best solution for you would be a laptop card from your cellphone provider...most of them offer them for free right now...

With a card like that you are complete freee from any restriction(of course it depends how good your provider is)

Cheers

Here is an example from AT&T, but every Provider has similar offers:

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Sierra+Wireless+AirCard+881+(Refurb)&q_sku=sku1250153

It is also available as USB

With a card like that you are completely independent but of course it cost you whatever your provider is charging for your airtime/minutes

Some provider like sprint are offering it for 60 bucks a month i think, AT&T has their Media Net etc

(But maybe talking with your provider helps further, if you are not using it constantly i wouldn't get one because remember, you have to get a plan with it) :-)

Cheers,

Frank

Yeah if your lucky you should be able to find a hotspot. They are everywhere. I remember seeing McDonalds advertising wifi now and I know alot of coffee shops already have wifi like starbucks. It is becomming more and more common these days. I remember my hotel even had wireless once. Just be careful because some places may try to profit off their wireless access and may want to charge you a fee to use it. But wifi is definately becomming pretty common these days.

it is true- i am ALL the time- a bit less with summer and kids- but thats why the laptop is in the kitchen- i can always have quick access- but in the past few years, vacations always had a place to plug in the laptop- this place we are renting, they did not have internet access at all! can you imagine

so, i learned something new :-)
