Suggestions for spots in Northern California - N of Eureka
We are going to visit relatives during Christmas and are looking for good spots in Northern Ca. The relatives live in Crescent City so I am looking for spots Orick or north. We are traveling from the Stockton area so I would prefer not to drive all the way to Harris Beach in Brookings. Anybody have any fav spots or suggestions?2.5KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Free Internet if you are not a full timer

They do not surprise you at end of month with a whomping bill if you go over your data limit.. .Just slow you down till the month ends. So you suppose that when the 200M free is used...you will still have data it will just be slow boat data? If so, that not a bad deal for e-mail and basic web surfing to pass the time.....488Views0likes0CommentsRe: Free Internet if you are not a full timer

I think a lot of peeps missed the "part-timer" part of the discussion. I wonder how many part-timers found it useful?487Views0likes0CommentsRe: I-pad vs tablet
I-Pad is subset of portable computer type=tablet. Put differently: A tablet is a class of portable computer and is the latest trend in mobile computing. They have no physical keyboard, typically have wireless(and/or cellular)capability, anywhere from 7" to 10" screens and a decent battery life. Tablets most often sell for less than $600. I-pad is a type of tablet computer. The I-Pad is to tablet computers what the Macbook is to laptop computers. I-pad is a tablet manufactured by Apple.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Casa De Fruta RV Park

They offer both CLEAR(Sprint) 4G and recently began 4g LTE service. I actually received a free 4g modem from them early on, but have yet to activate it. Gonna have to check that out.......487Views0likes0CommentsRe: Casa De Fruta RV Park

You might consider putting the information on rv park reviews. Done!516Views0likes0CommentsRe: Free Internet if you are not a full timer
MrWizard wrote: if the 'KIDS' play , grandkids ? your kids ? that 200 meg will be gone in one afternoon other wise as you said it can be enough to check email on a weekend trip or two BTW i saw nothing on page about Hotspots or modems it said for your 'Tablet' http://www.t-mobile.com/landing/free-mobile-internet-data.html Mr. Wizard: If you scroll to the right on the following link(same one posted) you will find that there are 2 hotspots listed as eligible devices: http://www.t-mobile.com/landing/bring-your-own-tablet.html Also, as long as you are not watching movies, using skype etc 200Mb is plenty. Since I am a "part-timer"(not retired), I am always looking for ways to do things without spending the $$$ that makes it worth it for the full timers. The idea behind the post was to let the "part-timers" know that there are ways to hook up their tablets, e-books, etc without paying extra. Your milage may vary and the advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.77Views0likes0CommentsFree Internet if you are not a full timer
If you are a full timer...you are probably not interested in what follows. If you are like me and RV periodically this is a perfect solution. T-Mobile just recently introduced a 200Mb free data for life plan. http://www.t-mobile.com/landing/free-mobile-internet-data.html Why is this such a big deal? Well, as most part-timers have probably figured out by now, most RV campgrounds wireless sucks. The T-Mobile free 200Mb for life is a perfect solution. Here's why? If you read the fine print you can use 1 of 2 mobile hot spots(http://www.t-mobile.com/landing/bring-your-own-tablet.html). The Huawei Sonic 4G Mobile HotSpot can be had on Ebay for like $50 refurbed. Buy the $10 sim card from T-Mobile and you now have 200Mb of FREE T-Mobile wireless that let's you connect your tablets,laptops and other wi-fi devices. While you are not going to stream movies...200Mb is more than enough to check e-mail, do some night time surfing, etc on a 4 or 5 day trip. The biggest downside? Probably the coverage. I know there will be some who will say just tether to your phone, but what a pain to have to leave the phone so the kids can play on the internet. Just thought I would share the idea for some of the part-timers.4.2KViews0likes19Comments
