Money for the Rest of Us

I just returned from my trip overseas. It was a great experience and I learned a lot; but I’m happy to be home.

The only frustrating thing about trip was the lack of (cheap) internet in the hotel. This was a several-hundred-dollar per night hotel with all of the amenities (towel warming-rack, free spy and gym, etc) but you had to pay $30 per day for internet and most of the rooms didn’t even have capabilities for wired OR wireless. You could use wireless in the lobby for the $30/day or in the business center.

I wish this high-cost internet was a rare occurrence. But, in my travels I have generally found that the more expensive hotels are more likely to charge for internet. But, if you go to a La Quinta or a Holiday Inn internet is free. I realize that expensive hotels can usually get away with charging for internet because they have so many business people who are happy to fork over the money, but it just doesn’t seem right.

Enough of my rant. I have some great posts prepared for this week, so stay tuned.
