One of the luxuries of my job is that it can be done from virtually anywhere…as long as I can connect to the Internet. I spent much of August working from the road traveling about the country with my family on “working vacation” road trip.

I drove more than 7,000 miles over the course of about three weeks–traveling from Houston to Denver, the Badlands of South Dakota and Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon before looping back to Houston. What I learned during my epic road trip is that I’m a bit spoiled living in suburbia with my 35Mbps broadband Internet. The reality in many places is that connecting to the Internet is often easier said than done.
