Net-Friendly Holiday Destinations?
Marius Kjeldahl asks: "Am I the only one wondering about this? Are there any net-friendly holiday destinations/resorts? Parts of my job I can pretty much do anywhere, and while I am waiting for affordable cellular/satellite net-access, I would like to know if anybody know of any net-friendly resorts. These resorts should be able to offer minimum quality (preferrably better than dial-up) and affordable links. The best thing would be a ethernet outlet with DHCP, or possibly wireless 802.11b. I know most of the business type hotels offer some type of link, but they typically charge an arm and a leg, and no, using a infrared keyboard and the remote control does not allow me to get work done; I need to hook up my laptop."
Holiday destinations are holiday destinations. They're not meant for working. They're meant for holidaying. Its your holiday. Stop working.
Of course business hotels with internet access are expensive - they're for business. Most people on holiday don't want to work.
Although the idea of sitting by the pool with a wireless laptop might be appealing, you will get a terrible tanline on your lap.
Enjoy your holiday without work. Use the local internet cafes to check your email for a while, but those CVS checkins can wait. You might even be more productive when you get back, after a nice rest. That's what I tell the boss.
