So thanks for the great information. It seems we might be able to have internet access even in remote areas as the technology gets better! To many more travels.

Then early last year, in preparation for my transition to living and working (as a VA) fulltime from my RV, I got a USB EVDO --- also through 3Gstore.com. Mine is through Sprint and it's every bit as fast as cable internet was at the condo in San Diego. One thing that was pointed out to me, which saved me money in the long run, was to get my card through my business as Sprint and Verizon both recently raised their prices based on transfer allowances. Because my Sprint card is through my business, I don't have that limitation (at least not at present). It is wonderfully freeing to be able to "connect" from anywhere and allows me to serve my clients while my 2 Giant Schnauzers, 2 parrots and I enjoy a changing view from our windows. I spent nearly 10 years planning this transition and the internet connectability issue was big when I started looking at it. Things have changed quickly in that regard. Love your blog --- full of great information! Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season. Mari:

I'm with you on the connectivity, though. We had an extended trip this summer, not planned that way, and I was online for on average an hour a day. Many offline things got done but oh, it was frustrating. ;) If you are ever in Weaverville, California, there is wi-fi that can be picked up from the parking lot of Tops Supermarket, but the Starbucks there has power sockets and doesn't chase you out. There is also wi-fi at Mamma Llama coffee shop. Also, we have parked outside public libraries before now, and some of the CA state parks have limited-range wi-fi too. Have fun!
