Our road trip has gotten great feedback from GoPetFriendly fans … thanks! Several people have asked how we connected to the internet while we are out and about. Hotel and coffee shop Wi-Fi certainly help. But rather than leave something so important to chance, we bought the MiFi 2200 ultra-portable “hot spot” from Verizon. This ultra-portable 3G EV-DO router weighs a few ounces, has the footprint of a credit card, and allows up to five devices to connect at the same time. It cost about $100 (after a $50 Visa debit card rebate), along with a $30 activation fee. We pay $60 per month for a 5 GB data plan. Installation was easy, and it works as promised. Nothing cooler than (literally) driving down the road and being connected to the internet – just like the commercial.
A snapshot appears below. The MiFi is pictured in line with an iPhone, a stick pen, and a business card.
