Free WiFi hotspots

[mushu mama]

Just thought I'd share this link that was given to me this morning on another site.
It's a listing of free wifi hotspots in airports, hotels, cafes etc around the world but with particular attention to the US. It has a state by state listing as well as international spots.
I was blown away by how many free wifi spots there are in Australia - I thought most places here were pay only.

I thought seeing as we were all talking about being 'world travelers' this might be a handy thing to know.

What would be handy is a point by point explanation of how this all works so I can decide whether to buy a lap top before we go away next year - imagine spending $2000 just so I can blog with you guys!

This is my dilemma too Sandie. I definitely won't be taking a laptop and while there is internet access on the cruise I haven't seen WDW or DLR advertise internet use only byo.

And I think it would be an unanimous vote by all participants of the forum that we are well and truely worth spending $2000 on! I mean if we can't be in the park then we have to live vicariously! You can't just run out on us and do a Sunny Bill

I don't think I'd want to travel without my laptop now. On my wish list is a wireless card so I can use it anywhere.
My laptop is pretty big but I didn't find it annoying to lug around... there are pros and cons.. something that tipped the scales for me was the photo editing, video programs that came with it. I'm still finding wizz bang things it can do and I've had 6 months.

There are much smaller ones out there that are just fine for blogging and emailing - depends what you want it for. I wanted to be able to dump my photos daily onto the laptop so I made sure it had the capacity. Then I could burn them as I go myself to safeguard them from any mishaps(theoretically - I didn't end up doing it last time but now that I have it down pat, would definitely do it).

I hope you do... I want to hear every last detail... that goes for you too Beth.

Isn't it more a case of Sunny Bill doing a Lisa? Lisa did Anthony Mundine make you trick us?

Huh?

First of all, I had to google Sunny Bill who turned out to be Sonny Bill Williams I imagine. I had to google it because obviously rugby union doesn't filter into my little bubble of work, scrapping and Disney, and clearly I'm living under a rock not having heard anything about this.

Let me tell you though, if someone offered me $3mill to play union, I'd damn well have a good go at it. I might be a little short though... and a little less... lumpy.... and maybe a little more intelligent... And entirely less tattooed. I just don't get the whole 'sleeve' thing... wonder what happens when the phase passes and they have and entire arm of tattooed stuff...

Anyway, I digress.

And Anthony Mundine? again... huh? I detest that man.

And I tricked you?

OK Lisa as you now know SBW did a runner from the Bulldogs mid-contract (5 years) to France for a more lucrative deal (1 year). The Bulldogs have been trying to subpeona him to appear in court but he has been sucessfully side stepping the chappy trying to serve papers. It is believed that this little disappearing trick has been orchestrated by Mundine. So the question is did Anthony Mundine also orchestra your secret trip to the States? I think not because he hasn't been on the forum blowing his own trumpet!

Just venting now - SBW says he is a leader in player rights and this is all about the money and salary capping. So he is really sticking it to his club, his team and his fans! Nice guy ! Hope that French thing works out for him because he may not be as popular here on his return! Not that I care!

I have no idea what this has to do with WiFi hotspots. Hasn't anyone else noticed our tendency to digress?

OOOhhhh... now I understand. Thanks Beth

Nope, believe me, if Mundine came within cooee of here, I'd be hiding. Why does the word 'unhinged' spring to mind when ever that name gets brought up?

I can assure you, I did all my own planning ( or non-planning as the case may be )
