Usually I have to drop in to the local Starbucks - which is ok. The Starbucks are usually a nice place to spend a few hours. WiFi is going to be particularly important for me if I am going to be completely off the grid ! - Me too. Usually I have to drop in to the local Starbucks - which is ok.

The Netflix thing sounds cool though I rarely watch movies when I travel. If I am flying for a long time I will copy movies to my iPod for the trip. @Cromely - What type of AP are you traveling with? I have thought about doing that. The best thing about that hotel though was that it had both wired and wireless. Life is good! Now about this very cold weather and snow flurries in Nashville . . . ugh! @Chickpea - Totally agree. The Netflix thing sounds cool though I rarely watch movies when I travel.

I travel with my own wireless accesspoint that I like to hook into their ethernet. Then I can better secure the wireless signal. It also means I can use more than one notebook without having to pay an extra fee. <em>Cromely's last blog post..<a href='http://cromely.blogspot.com/2008/03/ips.html' rel="nofollow">IPS</a></em> I prefer hotels that have wired ethernet near the desk or someplace.

I spent a few days in Atlantic City at one of the big casino/hotels and internet access was $10 a day! Completely outrageous, but my bf and I broke down and paid for it because we had to check bank balances, ebay auctions, etc (aka, we can't live without the internet). It was funny because while driving to the hotel, we saw smaller hotels and motels that didn't have casinos, but were within walking distance of the big casinos, that offered free wi-fi. Next time around, we'll be taking that route! On our last big trip, we went to the Dominican Republic and the resort we stayed at (simply amazing, we're going back this summer) offered free wifi in the lobby (which was beautiful, open air, etc), and even had two fully loaded Dell laptops for use for those who didn't bring laptops. We brought one of our laptops, but it was nice to be able to both check our email at the same time, not having to wait for the other was done. If I am correct, the resort had plans to offer free wifi to the rooms as well. I'm with you, I'd give up the stupid TV for internet access, most of the channels suck either way! While in AC, we hardly turned on the tv, instead opting for Netflix "Watch Instantly." I loove good wireless while traveling!
