I've mentioned before that I think that laptops make a lot of sense for computer users who travel. With a great deal of our communication and information gathering tied up in the computer world, not having this tool when traveling is a definite minus. My family and I just returned from a short trip where having our laptop with us saved us a lot of time and aggravation.

While traveling, we used the computer and a wi-fi connection (which was easy to find) to :

• Email relatives
• Access maps 
• Compare shopping centers we were thinking of visiting
• Keep an eye on the weather
• Check road reports
• Find our favorite eateries
• Find independent coffee shops (we like them better than Starbucks) 
• Download and look at pictures we took
• Stay current with news without having to wait for a newspaper or the evening news
  

I'm curious what other travelers use their laptops for on the road. Leave a comment and tell me your traveling laptop story or tip!
