5 Ways to Share Your Mobile Data Connection
Over the years, we’ve become reliant on a decent Internet connection when we travel. When we first hit the road over ten years ago, personal Internet was a rare luxury. It was always welcome but getting it outside of Internet cafes and hotel lobbies wasn’t often possible. These days, it’s available almost everywhere and because of our jobs, it’s also mandatory.
Now that we travel with a Tablet, 2 iPhones and a couple laptops, we’ve found the need to share that Internet connection to be just as important. That being said, creating our own Mobile Hotspot is one of the first things we do when we get to a new location and a decent WiFi signal can’t be found.
In case you’re like us, here’s a list of products and ideas to help share your mobile data connection while you’re on the road.

How to Call Home While on the Road
One of the hardest things to do while on the road is to talk to friends and family back home on a regular basis. They’re generally living their normal lives, going to work and so forth while you’re doing your own thing on the other side of the planet.

Let’s kick it up 50 or so years and remember how it was done for almost a hundred years. Most people still have a telephone and here’s a quick rundown of traditional and not so traditional ways to phone internationally.

Five Best iPad Drawing Apps for Kids
Most kids love to draw and paint. While nothing beats the feeling of being elbow deep in finger paint, the digital equivalent is sometimes just easier. This is especially true when we travel, since a tablet or smart phone is faster to set up, quicker to clean and the kids usually enjoy it just as much as the real thing.
Our daughter (who’s turning four soon) loves to draw and paint, so we’ve reviewed her five favorite drawing or painting apps for the iPad. We’ve used each app and all five are currently on our tablet. Some of the apps are also available on the iPhone and iPod, but these reviews are strictly for the iPad versions. She uses and loves all of these apps (and so do we!).
