Yes i'm trying to steer him down the WiFi route as well but now he's talking about tethering the laptop to his phone. Even getting his phone setup correctly for this trip in order to avoid roaming charges was tricky. With that plan (Which will be temporary) There is a still a data charge of $2.00 per megabyte. As such i'm HIGHLY advising against tethering.


I'm also searching for a long term solution as I doubt this will be the last time a trip like this happens.
