Traveling with technology challenges

Monday, January 23rd, 2012 Karen Ambrose Hickey, Editor

As my husband got ready for a business trip, he was telling me about how he was streamlining getting through the TSA checkpoint.

I already did his newest trick (keeping that baggie in an outside bag pocket), but read with interest, iPass Open Mobile gives me access to more hotspots than any other vendor for commercial-grade Wi-Fi, including Gogo Inflight. My corporate-provided Android does NOT provide me a hotspot.

I have learned the hard way to double-check my chargers. I have mistakenly brought the wrong ones for my laptop and smartphone, since we have so many devices at home. It did give me a chance to browse and buy a book. And disconnect.

As an added bonus, I included the article: built-in seat with your rolling suitcase!? Brilliant! I wish I’d thought of it.
