How To Find WiFi On The Road In US And Canada
Mari
Living a full time mobile lifestyle and running my business from the road is one of the greatest pleasures–and greatest challenges–I’ve experienced to date!
By far, the biggest stumbling block is finding consistent high speed internet access. (The second biggest challenge is what Ty and I affectionately call our Mobile Marriage Bootcamp. Ha!)
Here’s a summary of how and where to find internet access on the road:
- Your own EVDO aircard (PLUS router for multiple computers).
- RV parks with no/low cost wifi.
- Hotels, motels, inns and other local businesses.
- Internet cafes.
- Restaurants.
- Satellite.
1. Your own EVDO aircard.
While in the contiguous States, so long as we’re in or near a reasonably sized town, I can easily get a signal for my EVDO aircard by Verizon. It’s a small gadget about the size of a cell phone with a USB plug that pops directly into my laptop for internet access on the go.
However, when the signal is weak and there’s only a couple of bars, the connection speed can be terribly slow. And, for someone like me who is constantly online, it can be a hair-tearing-out experience!!
We opted for a plan with Verizon that only covers the United States for $60 per month for 5Gb of data transfer. So far, 5Gb has been sufficient for both Ty and me though we can’t do any major uploading or downloading of music and video files. No biggee.
However, traveling through Canada proved a bit of a challenge - we had to be sure not to use the aircard and instead opt only for RV parks that provide wifi access. (See #2 below.)
On that note, I had a huge learning experience at a conference in Vancouver where I racked up a bill of $1,115! Fortunately Verizon were understanding. The *only* indication you’re on international roaming is a teeny black triangle (that is normally red).
Sprint also offers an EVDO aircard for $60/month or $99/month to include Canada. You have to sign a two year contracts for either Verizon or Sprint.
NOTE: if you buy your aircard directly from Verizon or Sprint, they try to sell you one aircard + plan per computer.
I’m SO glad I discovered 3Gstore.com [thanks to my experienced RVer buds at Escapees.com]. 3Gstore.com offer exemplary customer service as profiled in Seth Godin’s book, Meatball Sundae.
Through 3Gstore.com, I was able to purchase a Kyocera Router and plug in my aircard to literally create our own HOTSPOT!! We also purchased a small antenna that helps boost the signal.
The fab peeps at 3Gstore helped me with all the set up and configuration to make sure the connection is secured with a key. That way, wherever we go, no one else can tap into our signal.
I often use the aircard directly in my laptop while Ty is driving either in the motorhome or our car. We have an inverter for both vehicles which allows me to plug in and get electricity so as not to drain my laptop batteries! My office is *literally* mobile!!
2. RV parks with no/low cost wifi.
To augment our own aircard and hotspot access, we frequently seek RV parks that offer free wifi access. More and more parks are including wifi in the campground rate. Average nightly rates are $25 which typically includes hookups, access to restrooms, hot showers, laundry room, convenience store and other features like pools, spas and more. The park wifi is typically quite a bit faster than we can get with our aircard.
3. Hotels, motels, inns and other local businesses.
When we’re passing through towns and have a quick pit stop, I’ll often check if I can pick up any signals from nearby hotels, motels, inns, internet cafes, gas stations, etc. One caveat - if you can get online, these connections are not secure. Be careful of doing any online banking or purchases, for example.
4. Internet cafes.
These are my fave as I get to enjoy a good cup of Americano and a pastry while getting some high-speed work done! Plus, I get to have a change of environment, listen to great music (usually), and connect with some locals.
5. Restaurants.
Sometimes we’ll go to a restaurant or cafe for a meal and if they offer a secured connection, the manager will gladly give us the password knowing we’re just passing through.
6. Satellite.
An alternative internet access source for RVers is satellite dish. We’ve seen some fellow RVers fussing with the set up of their dish and you can’t get connection while your vehicle is actually moving. You need to be parked up with a view of the southern sky. We’re often in treed parks, so that’d be tricky.
With the EVDO aircard and router system, we’re up and running in no time whether mobile or stationary. Satellite is quite a bit pricier than the EVDO aircard system too. Check out this Ground Control Mobile Satellite Internet System (MSS).
I hope this list helps you out whether you’re an RVer or just do a lot of business traveling! I’d love to hear your experience and ideas for getting even faster and more reliable internet access on the road! Please add your comments below:

Alaska Leaves Me Speechless
Mari
Over the past several weeks, I’ve written more than a dozen blog posts… …in my mind! I wanted to try and convey the incredible, profound, spiritually-awakening experience of Alaska.
Yet, words simply cannot do this gorgeous part of the world justice. Nor can pictures or videos. You’ll just have to come see for yourself when you can!
Meantime, I’ll do the best I can with words, pictures and videos to convey my experience. Let’s start with this short montage of pics taken on our trip north along the Haines Highway and Alaska Highway from Haines to Tok (like toke) through the Yukon. (Make sure your speakers are on to enjoy the music clip!)
On one of our Inside Passage ferry trips, a member of staff gave a talk on Alaska. She shared a great quote: “You simply have to experience Alaska later in life or you’ll be spoiled!” Hm, we tend to agree… though I’m only a spring chickie in my early 40s. So, as author Tim Ferriss says “Don’t wait. Do your dream now.”
[Iceberg from South Sawyer Glacier, Tracy Arm, nr Juneau; North Sawyer Glacier]
[Humpback whale fluke; gray seal. Both at Tracy Arm, nr. Juneau]
[Kenai Lake, Kenai Peninsula; Mt. McKinley (Denali) view from Talkeetna]
Alaska is a feast for the senses; a grand display of the beauty and power of mother nature. It’s a wilderness beyond the wildest imagination just waiting to be explored.
Yesterday, we enjoyed an all day trip to discover Denali National Park. I can sure see why this vast (SIX million acres) breathtaking wilderness area is so protected.
Though the weather was wet and foggy (Denali the mountain is only visible 30% of the year!), we were able to see bears, moose, caribou, red fox, and dall sheep. And, on the return journey to Talkeetna (where most flightseeing trips depart from), the climate was quite different at the 15,000 feet level and we actually saw patches of blue sky! [Denali means "The Great One." It's the tallest peak in North America at 20,320' above sea level.]
By the way, locals tell us this is the worst summer they’ve had since the early 1970’s. Eeek! 
It’s been unusually cold (highs of mid-50’s most days) and copious rain to the point of serious flooding. (Makes for fun white water rafting!) Hm, we thought this was normal Alaska weather. Lol. We’ve gotten lucky with some lovely warm sunny days though.
Okay, I’ll save more for the next post!
Have you been to Alaska before? If so, what did you enjoy most? What do you wish you would’ve seen? If you haven’t yet experienced Alaska first hand, what are you most looking forward to now that you’ve decided to come visit?!

Postcard From Breathtaking Juneau, AK
Mari
I love Juneau, Alaska’s Capital City! I could hardly believe my eyes as our ferry pulled in to Auke Bay, Juneau around 4:45am on Monday morning. The Mendenhall Glacier sits powerfully above the town and is clearly visible miles away. (This shot is a little hazy, but the sun is just about to come up. You can still see the glacier though.)
Ty and I had boarded the Columbia ferry the previous morning around 10:00am for our twenty-one hour journey. We’d chosen this schedule as it afforded us the most daytime traveling. However, for pretty much the whole journey from Ketchikan it was overcast and rainy and the ferry was real busy. All cabins were long sold out as the Columbia had begun her voyage out of Bellingham, Washington. I was amazed at how many people choose to pitch tents or sleep in loungers on the sun deck! (See pic below).
We had a whistlestop thirty minute tour of both Wrangell and Petersburg. The Wrangell Narrows are incredible! The ferry crew skillfully navigates through 75 different markers making 35 turns. Even with high-tech equipment, they still have a crew member standing at the helm to keep an eye out. (See pic above).
I did see one pod of Orcas. Wow was that ever a moving experience. People flocked to the decks and clambered to take pics. I didn’t get much more than a few black specs in the water. LOL. Next time.
In the wee hours, we attempted to catch a few hours’ sleep in the recliner lounge with many other folks. (Most peeps take the cushions off the chairs and make a bed on the floor).
Then we awoke to the announcement we’d be docking in Juneau in twenty minutes. I went up on deck and saw the huge majestic snow-capped mountains all around, the clear sky, the still waters, and the breathtaking Mendenhall Glacier. It was like we’d arrived in a new world!
I don’t know what it is about glaciers and me - I’ve long had an affinity for them. I think the first time I saw one up close was when my mum took me to the Athabasca Glacier in the Canadian Rockies in 1991. It’s like they hold the secrets of thousands of years of history and are ever-so-slowly revealing themselves to us as they melt away. Maybe that sounds funny to you… but maybe not. 
We’re now staying at the Spruce Meadows RV Park - a lovely, peaceful park just three miles from the Mendenhall Glacier. (There are two other major glaciers nearby).
On Thursday, Ty left for a three-day side trip to Sitka on his bicycle loaded up like a donkey. haha. His folks lived in Sitka for a couple years in the 1940’s. There’s a twin-hull ferry over to Sitka from here in just 4.5 hours. Regular ferry takes nine hours.
Today was gloriously bright and sunny by 7:00pm. I headed out to visit with the glacier … again.
The pic bottom left is a close up of glacial ice. At first it’s real tight and compressed, then gets aerated and crumbles.
Oh, when we first arrived, we did take a tour of downtown Juneau with four cruise ships in harbor - I’ll load up a video shortly to show ya!
Next up: an all-day boat tour of Tracy Arm to spot whales, sea lions, bears and calving glaciers.
How about you? Have you seen glaciers up close? Have you been to Alaska? Would you like to? I’d love to read your comments below.

Hardy Tent Camping or Comfy Lodge?
Mari
There’s nothing like stripping away all your home comforts on a camping trip with your spouse to come face-to-face with your most profound differences. Marriage expert, Gary Smalley, declares camping experiences the best way to bond. Hm. He explains any mishaps and challenges you endure together as a couple or family serve as fodder to deepen your connection… about three weeks later.
Since Ty and I met in ‘99, I knew he was enthralled with the “roughing it” type of experiences. Not me. Never have been, never will be. See, I grew up in a remote part of Kootenay Lake, BC in a town with just 200 residents and had enough of a primitive lifestyle to last me a lifetime. Either that, or I was just born with a preference for comfort. Ha.
Here’s my travelogue of this past weekend’s side trip from Ketchikan, Alaska to Prince of Wales Island - the third largest island in the States, 140 miles long by 45 wide. (Hawaii is the largest, Kodiak Island, Alaska the second largest).
It’s a three hour ferry ride and since the fares are fairly pricey for vehicles (priced by the foot) we chose to leave our RV in a storage spot at Clover Pass Resort and take our Honda CR-V with our tent camping gear. Fuel surcharges are currently over 40% - yikes! Round trip was $418.
Thing is, most all of south east Alaska is part of the Tongass National Rainforest. Average rainfall on Prince of Wales Island is 16 FEET per year. Yep, having lived in San Diego for the past eight years I’m now used to just a few inches of rain per year. Ty and I agreed we’d only sleep in the tent if the weather wasn’t inclement. Ha.
Still, I was optimistic for a fun weekend:
“Here’s what you WON’T see:
No traffic jams …
(There’s not even a single traffic light on the Island.)
Clean, pristine land with no litter.
No tourist trap hotels and stores.
No cruise ships and ladies with blue hair.
No hot and humid weather; just clean, cool air.”
We left Ketchikan on Friday at 2:30pm on board the Stikine (pic right): the one ferry a day to Prince of Wales Island.
My aircard (internet connection) picked up a signal for the first hour or so of the journey. Then that was it. Nada. Nothing. Zip. No cell, no internet. The umbilical cord was pulled. Hm. First confrontation - the silence of being offline, unreachable and unable to reach out to my community.
The State of Alaska holds so much wilderness that it is difficult to even grasp its immensity… the pure solitude is sometimes almost overwhelming, but it’s an experience to be treasured in today’s world.
~Mike & Terri Church The Traveler’s Guide To Alaskan Camping
We arrived in sleepy Hollis (population 137) at 6:30pm and passed through Harris River USFS campground. A pretty spot for sure - though real primitive. Just a couple outhouses and pumps for water. It was overcast, though not raining… yet.
We continued on into Klawock (population 780) and checked out the funky Log Cabin Resort & RV Park - aha, hot showers and flushing toilets. But no tent spaces and no one was around. We headed into Craig a couple miles on, the biggest community on the entire island with a whopping 1,417 residents. But I was underwhelmed and confronted by my judgment. So many of the homes were real junky looking yet the few lodges and B&B’s command well over $100 per night.
So we proceeded northwards to the only other USFS campground on the island, Eagle’s Nest on Ball’s Lake. We arrived around 9:30pm (still lots of light) to find a big Forestry sponsored family fishing derby and the campground was maxed out. But one of the gals kindly gave us her walk-in spot while she stayed with buds in their RV.
The grounds were certainly picturesque and, in the height of summer with no rain, might’ve been quite enjoyable. We walked through the forest on a boardwalk to our site overlooking the lake. Just as we were pitching the tent, the rain started. And now I’m smack up against my extreme dislike for camping… especially when it’s cold and wet with no hot water–or other such comforts–in sight.
Meltdown for Mari. I vow never to tent camp again. Yet Ty’s in his element, he loves this. It poured with rain all night long. I wore five layers, yet was still cold. Bah!
Finally morning arrives - it’s bright, the rain stopped and the sun is out. The view right outside the tent overlooking the lake is gorgeous (pics below). Okay, maybe it was worth it, but I’m still looking for a lodge for the next night.
I have this overwhelming urge to ask our neighbors if they can point me in direction of the nearest Starbucks or internet cafe, please?! Ha, fat chance. I’m suffering from the extreme withdrawal symptoms Tim Ferriss talks about in his Four Hour Workweek book when you first cease to be controlled by constant email-checking.
We head off to Thorne Bay (population 486), once the largest logging camp in the WORLD. The claw greets incoming visitors (see pic below). Again, I’m under-impressed - it’s a super small town and there’s nothing much to see or do. We stopped at a local store and Ty enjoyed a reindeer hotdog while I stick with coffee (only marginally better than the usual gas station quality coffee. Ugh. I’m missing my morning Americano, spoiled brat that I am. Ha).
Next up is Coffman Cove (population teeny). As we head north out of Thorne Bay the paved road ends here and it’s gravel roads all the way now.
On the way, we took a slight detour to Luck Lake and wouldn’t you know, we bump into a dude from California! Our licence plates grin at each other. Michael from Del Mar just loves the remote parts of Alaska in particular; he comes up for a total get-away-from-it-all experience. He doesn’t care for touristy traps like Ketchikan or Juneau. Ty concurs, but I’m the opposite. I can only handle a very small dose of the whole rustic “get-away-from-it-all” environment. I mean, what is there to get away from anyway?!
It’s now teeming down with rain and Coffman Cove is even more sleepy than the other towns so far, with nothing to see or do. We looped around the tiny town twice before stopping to ask the local fishermen if their town has a place to get bite to eat. (Ty suggested asking them for directions to a restaurant; I’m afraid they’ll laugh so ask for somewhere to get a bite to eat). There’s nothing except a disheveled rustic store. We walk in and the air is so thick with cigarette smoke I think it would make a smoker choke. (Gak! There’s that spoiled Southern California brat again, so used to non-smoking everywhere). We grab a quick “safe” snack of V8 juice and nuts and make a beeline out the door.
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that unless you’re a hardy all-weather outdoor person big time into fishing - maybe hiking, hunting, canoeing or kayaking too - there’s not a whole heck of a lot to do on Prince of Wales Island. Well, they did say it’s an untourist place.
Our journey continues on for a fleeting visit to tiny Naukati (nock-a-TEE) and up to teensy Whale Pass. Finally, we find Donna’s Place. Ah! This is more like it - a cute little fully furnished pad for just $80 for the night. And Donna and her big collection of adorable pet bunnies hopping around the gardens are super welcoming. There’s nowhere in town to buy food, so Donna gladly gave us a loaf of bread, half pound of butter, coffee and a whole freshly cooked crab dinner. The cozy pad has a good selection of videos so we settle in for a delightful evening with crab and movies… after a long hot shower! Yeah!
One more day to go - it’s overcast and raining again. We head up to El Cap Cave and arrive just in time to enjoy a 90-minute guided tour by Mo and Jess, a summer intern from Montana. Although my comfort is again challenged, this time by the 370 stairs up the mountain and the pitch-black claustrophobic caves, the history and biology is simply fascinating. Archeologists found the remains of a 45,000 year old bear in caves like this on the island, along with the bones of a man 9,200 years old. Woah!
We rounded out the day driving back on down to Klawock (hurrah for paved roads again!), checked out the totem collection, went back to Craig (I was hoping to persuade Ty for another night in a lodge), then ended up spending the night in Harris River campground where it was mostly dry during the night. We were up and at ‘em by 6:30am in time to catch the ferry back to Ketchikan. Yay, civilization (and internet connection) again!
[Fully functional Google map: zoom in/out & move around. Each tree icon represents the towns we visited; yellow housey is the lodge we stayed at; purple camera is El Cap Caves. Green lines show the route we drove].
So, the BEST part of the entire adventure? The abundance of beautiful, elegant Sitka black-tailed deer! We must’ve spotted close to two dozen of these gorgeous creatures. And they just dropped their fawns a week ago so we got to see plenty Bambis! See my short deer video on Facebook here. (I would’ve loved to also see bears and whales too… there’s time yet in Alaska!)
How about you? Are you a roughing-it camper type? Or do you like your creature comforts - simple things like flushing toilets and hot water?! LOL. (I sure have an even greater appreciation for my RV after this weekend’s experience! …oh, and I’m looking forward to three weeks’ time for that bonding. hehe).

Postcard from Ketchikan, AK - Salmon Capital of the World
Mari
Ty and I began the first leg of our three-month exploration of the gorgeous state of Alaska a few days ago.
Okay, so the cruise part is really on a ferry. Ha! Isn’t it amazing that you can “drive” an RV up the Alaska Marine Highway (inside passage) via a series of ferries?!
We left Kinnikinnick RV Park in Port Edwards at around 4:30am (crazy early; I’m so not a morning person!) and headed for the ferry terminal. Check in time is three hours before departure; we were third in line and the ferry was only about 30% full anyway.
It works out cheaper to unhook the toad (tow car) and pay for each vehicle separately; Ty drove the RV on board the ferry and I drove the toad. (By the way, total ferry cost from Prince Rupert to Haines: $2,000, not including side trips we’re taking to Prince of Wales Island and Sitka).
I thoroughly enjoyed the four-hour ferry ride (despite my extreme fatigue due to no sleep!). The closer we got to Ketchikan, the more stunning the scenery became. Majestic snow-capped mountains as far as the eye could see. We got lucky with the weather: clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Here’s a video of our journey; it was a fab smooth ride.
Ty was one of the first vehicles on the ferry and one of the last off. Several crew members guide the big vehicles to pull forward then back several times to position properly for the sharp exit up the ramp… we didn’t get that part on vid! Maybe next time.
Now, we’re enjoying a 12-day stay at the Clover Pass Resort literally right on the waters’ edge! Lots of RVers here enjoying the abundant fishing. Ketchikan is the salmon capital of Alaska! We’re 12 miles north of the Ketchikan proper (as it was the only RV Park with wi-fi!).
The second derby weekend of the 61st annual Ketchikan King Salmon Derby concluded at 9 pm Sunday, June 1, 2008, and 9-year old Gage Heath is still at the top of the prize ladder with his 42.7 pound KING. Way to go Gage!
Current Ketchikan population is around 8,000 (11,000 counting all surrounding areas) and has a varied history - from mining to fishing and canneries many times over. Historic Creek Street is a hoot; it’s the town’s former red light district… “Where fish and fishermen go up the creek to spawn” so says the sign! See pic on left.
Now, Ketchikan is primarily a tourist destination with an abundance of high-end jewelry stores! One store owner told me two to four cruise ships come in every single day, seven days a week for five months of the year. By around 4:00pm the ships have left port and most all the shops close.
Ty and I toured around Ketchikan on a day after the ships had all left… and again a couple days later when there were four ships in harbor. The difference was astounding! Like comparing a ghost town to the heart of bustling New York City! Lol. Well, maybe more like Banff, Alberta! [pic right: the Norwegian Star, one of four mega cruise ships visiting Ketchikan - with "Thundering Wings" carving in the foreground]
Got any fave Alaska stories? How about suggestions for must-see places to visit?
P.S. Do check out my fellow RVing friends, Carol and Phil White’s book Live Your Road Trip Dream: Travel for a year for the cost of staying home. The Whites have traveled over 50, 000 miles in the last several years, visiting all 50 of the states, all the National Parks in the continental US, and hundreds of places both quirky and fascinating!

Oh Canada, I’ve Become Americanized
Mari
I’m Canadian by birth, 100% Scottish by genes. My parents both hail from bonnie Scotland and I lived in Edinburgh for 20 years before coming to California and meeting and marrying my local guy. (I joke about having “triple nationality”!)
As part of our journey towards Alaska, Ty and I spent the last three weeks meandering up through BC. We thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular scenery; the Province definitely lives up to her name of Beautiful British Columbia. (See my photo album on Facebook of the same name).
[pic: sunset at Prince Rupert; taken approx 10pm tonight after we watched Sex and the City at the movies!]
Tomorrow, we board the ferry for Ketchikan, Alaska. And… I have to confess, I’m looking forward to getting back to all things American.
First, when driving the roads of Canada, all signs are in kilometers. And, yes, it’s not too difficult to translate to miles or look down at the speedo and double check, or do a quick calc to see how many miles to the next stop. But the whole km vs. miles just makes the brain work harder.
[pic: Smithers, BC. Ty doing doubly duty with the squeegees. Those splattered bugs sure build up!]
Then there’s gas. Not only is it more expensive in Canada (!), it’s priced differently. You have to work out how many liters to the gallon and multiply, etc. Given we get approx. 7MPG in our lovely condo on wheels, every penny counts when filling ‘er up!! A typical visit to the gas station is $250 so it’s important to calculate accurately.
Next is the money. Ha, well the Canucks are finally getting their own back on the US, eh? (Maybe, but some industries have been hit hard up here, especially lumber). Ty and I did manage with just about no need to exchange American cash for Canadian. (FYI, US quarters work in Canadian laundromats, parking meters, and shopping carts). But a couple times we were stumped when some places took cash only (like the kids who offered to wash our RV. ha!).
Plus American debit cards (that also function as credit cards) do not swipe as debit cards in Canada. We’ve run into so many hiccups with that big difference… it’s almost embarrassing. “Oh, sorry - your card’s been declined.” Bah! Some places the debit/credit goes through, others it’s only credit. 
Okay, we better mention temperature… centigrade vs. fahrenheit. Not a biggee really, but still makes that brain work harder. LOL.
[pic: the entire drive from Terrace to Prince Rupert hugs the Skeena River and the scenery is breathtaking!]
And last, but by no means least, is our internet and cell connections. We have US-only plans for both, and had a near-expensive learning experience with Verizon EVDO (aircard for internet connection):
During our first three days in BC (attending a seminar in Vancouver), I was surprised to see I could get a signal on my laptop with the card. I didn’t think Verizon had service in Canada (they didn’t when we first signed up last summer; only Sprint did). I couldn’t see any warning or indication that we might be roaming. (oops). Three days into our BC trip, I got a call from Verizon fraud department. They were concerned about the excess usage and had put a block on our access… I’d run up a bill of a whopping $1,115. GAK!
Turns out the *only* indicator is a small black triangle on the control panel. (Oh, and we’re supposed to just know that means roaming?!) Anyway, thankfully, I managed to persuade Verizon it was a genuine error and please could they credit my account. They did. w00t!!
[pic: check out this cute VW hybrid (weld job) - this is at North Pacific Cannery a historic fishing village close to Port Edwards where we stayed for the past week]
And for my cell phone use, we checked out many pay-as-you go plans but it was just as cheap to go roaming on my US T-Mobile phone. But then I was delighted to find a non-contract affordable month-to-month plan from Koodo … only available to Canadians. Aha! Fortunately, I carry my SIN (Social Insurance Number) card with me, even though it’s been about 16 years since I worked in Canada. I’ve used the Koodo phone almost non-stop for the past couple weeks, racking up over 26 hours of interviews and teleseminars!
So, bye for now my lovely Canada. We’ll be back in the fall on our return from Alaska. Meantime, hello again good ol’ US of A!!
What say you fellow transplants and visitors? What do you love about Canada? and the US?
