WiFi is truly becoming ubiquitous
I've mentioned before that I think that laptops make a lot of sense for computer users who travel. With a great deal of our communication and information gathering tied up in the computer world, not having this tool when traveling is a definite minus. My family and I just returned from a short trip where having our laptop with us saved us a lot of time and aggravation.
While traveling, we used the computer and a wi-fi connection (which was easy to find) to :
- Email relatives
- Access maps
- Compare shopping centers we were thinking of visiting
- Keep an eye on the weather
- Check road reports
- Find our favorite eateries
- Find independent coffee shops (we like them better than Starbucks)
- Download and look at pictures we took
- Stay current with news without having to wait for a newspaper or the evening news
I'm curious what other travelers use their laptops for on the road. Leave a comment and tell me your traveling laptop story or tip!

We use a Sprint wireless
We use a Sprint wireless card and do on the spot research for whatever topic comes up while we are driving down the road. For example... We learned all sorts of interesting information about the Great Salt Lake .... stuff that wasn't at the rest stop. And we learned it while we were driving, so no lost time in getting to our "destination" just because there was something interesting on the route.
