I like your attitude… one which I finally had to adopt after changing rooms and still having no Internet connection.

Honestly, it wasn’t hard to take the vacation. It’s just difficult when the workload doubles or triples as we try to make up for lost time.

Yes, sometimes it’s more difficult to work with written instructions in a book when one is skills-challenged compared with seeing them in video tutorials. That’s coming.

A quick peek at your site and I see that you’ve been working hard on it.. It would seem that your only challenge now remains some basic design and layout work, all of which will be covered in my upcoming coaching sessions.

Sorry I can’t be of more immediate help, but if you have specific questions, I invite you to ask them in our members’ forum at:

You’re absolutely right. The Verizon users were indeed happy with their connections.

However, regardless of how much money I earn on an annual basis, paying $720 for a service that I might use only once or twice in the year is wasteful – especially when most of the hotels that I stay at when I’m not traveling on business provide free and fast Internet. And as you suggested, Verizon is problematic for Canadians in that we can’t order it from here, so you have to be down in the States to top up when required.

Call me cheap or whatever, but I believe that capital preservation and avoidance of unnecessary spending are the first steps to being financially free. The Millionaire Mind by Dr. Thomas J. Stanley is a great reference for this approach.

I suppose it’s up to each of us to determine just how ‘crucial’ Internet access is… or whether or not there’s a Starbuck’s within easy reach.

I agree with you. On road trips I usually choose the Holiday Inn specifically because their Internet connections are always both free and fast.

And for anyone who hasn’t stayed at a Holiday Inn lately and may think it beneath their usual standars, I stayed at the one in Astoria, Oregon in September and the riverside room was absolutely lovely and very comfortable.

Now, if only they would stop tempting me with the biscuits and gravy (heart attach on a plate)!!

Well, glad you made it back and hope you had fun at the seminar Rosalind. Maybe someday I’ll be able to go.

I understand why foreign affiliates may have issues with something like that here in the US, but I can’t get over how cheap some US affiliates are about their web access when it’s such a crucial component of their lifestyle.

I was in Hawaii a couple weeks ago (Waikiki Beach Marriott) and I had similar issues. My first time taking my laptop on a trip and the internet cost $13 a day for basically dialup speeds. A buddy of mine said he is used to paying $2 per day.

But, I ended up hooking the laptop to the wired network cable and the speeds were still slow, but not super slow. A lot of hotels have network cables stowed away in the correspondence desk.

I ended up paying about $100 extra for internet access I could barely use. All the more reason to consider travel and IM events a vacation from the internet I guess…
