While on the road, as long as I have my Directv and a good internet option I will be fine.  Don't get me wrong, I will go out and find interesting things to do during my travels, but as long as I have TV and Internet that will keep me occupied the majority of the time, when I am not working.  I will also be hitting up a lot of concerts during my travels.
 
My husband had to have Satellite TV and Internet also, plus most of the comforts of home when we travel and snow-bird.&nbsp; He also has our home phone with us plus his cell phone. It costs, but if it keeps him happy and on the road........&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

i just need internet, any shows I like to watch I can watch on the net!
<br><br>Only if you have unlimited downloads. You don't get that with mifi. Many ISPs no longer have unlimited downloads. We have Verizon and only get 5 Gig downloads. Anything over that they charge more. It can really add up.

Hobby on the road is watching tv? Really?
 
When I was in Yuma earlier this month, I parked for the night in the parking lot next to Fry's foods that will be the parking lot of the new Dennie's that is being built there. There was a guy in a&nbsp; work style pickup truck with a name of a business on the side and a ladder rack, etc. At night this gent would put reflectix windshield covers up over all windows and fire up a little genset in his truck bed, set up a tripod and dish outside and apparently watch tv in the evening til going to sleep in his little Ranger, regular size cab truck seat....He may have been a tiny little guy or woke up sore every AM but there he was...every night. My thought was that he may have been working on the Dennies and saving motel money but dunno.<br><br>@ Owl, I find that if I don't have something to do in my little van at night, when it gets dark at 4 or 5 in the winter, and doesn't get light until late in the morning....not having something like TV or a good internet connection, I get way, way too much sleep. Just saying. I can only read so much.<br><br>If I had an rv or a larger rig, it would change everything. Many more possibilities to do hobby-like things, etc.<br>Bri

(ie)smart phone or laptop or what would you&nbsp;do to get these service's.
 
Remember books? Still lots of 'em I'll bet you haven't read that sure can get you thinking a lot more than television can/will any more (and, shudder, I worked in broadcasting back when it was the domain of Cronkite, Huntly and Brinkley, the BBC,&nbsp;and&nbsp;others who could read, write and had the courage and owners who would let them).&nbsp;
 
<P>As I'm getting older, I find watching television is becoming less&nbsp;&amp; less important to me. I find that once I start watching certain shows it becomes somewhat addictive so I find other ways to occupy my time. Lately I'm finding more constructive ways of keeping my mind a little more active. I do enjoy certain shows now &amp; again but television is becoming less a prioriority the older I become.</P>
