The USA has far from the most advanced network. Much of Asia has far superior cell and broadband networks (like 10 times more bandwidth, cheaper, higher penetration rates for broadband…). WiFi coverage is big cities can be good in the USA. Cheap hotels and motels often have free WiFi (this is the way I usually use, when I stray out of the big cities in the USA). Expensive hotels often charge ridicules amounts for WiFi.

@ David: Thank you for giving us your feedback. I think mobile phones can work well provided your data plan is not too astronomic. I gather you wouldn’t use it that often if it was.

@ Salwa: Yes, when I traveled in the States I was thankful for many WiFi spots in most hotels I stayed. This allowed me to keep track of business without having to chase an Internet cafe.

@ Not a Niche: Well, actually it is. I’ve heard of Google Gears and using them offline. Haven’t tried them though. Some people might use them quite frequently. It’s good you mentioned them.

@ TJ: Smart solution. Sometimes I feel we can get quite creative in trying to stay connected when it isn’t that easy. It’s great you found a solution that works for you though. Thanks for sharing this.

@ Croatia Real Estate: It certainly does help. But not everybody can afford gadgets like a Blackberry, or a data plan covering the needs. Knowing alternatives helps when we get in a tight spot.

It is very good habit to carry all those gadgets which will help you in the journey. You might have to do any kind of work. thats why I carry Blackberry and my favorate HP Laptop with me everytime…

I visit my aunt every other weekend. There we dont have internet reach. So i use my laptop and a Vodaphone data card. It gives me minimal speed so i cannot upload anything but text. But hey its worth than not having anything and become stranded.

This is not really a tip how to stay connected but if I really don´t have a connection I use and read the news in my feed reader offline. And in the future with WordPress 2.6 implementing Google Gears I might able to work in my admin area of my blog offline and write new articles.

I go away at least once a week and always always take my laptop with me and my Vodafone mobile broadband so even in the middle of the country i can access the internet.
