Road Warrior (On the Cheap)
Friday, August 14, 2015 at 12:08AM 
Well, I’m on the road again. Heading out for a two-week vacation with the family and a couple of friends. This time, instead of a hotel or resort, we’re renting a 2000 sq. ft. vacation home in a residential neighborhood right in the middle of all the local attractions (tourist traps) in Sedona, Arizona. According to the property manager, the home has cable TV and Internet service, but the connection is wired only. No Wi-Fi. Like a hotel, the only sound system consists of a couple of clock radios. It’s a given I’ll be taking my MacBook Pro (I never travel without it), but I’m still left with a couple of challenges: 1) how to provide Wi-Fi so our three iPhones and one iPad don’t burn through our monthly (15 GB) AT&T data allotment and 2) how to take along a better sound system. This is a vacation. I’m certain some drinking and general partying is in the itinerary somewhere. Everybody knows the booze bone is connected to the music bone. So, my standard travel bag needs a few extra things…
