For me, it's hard to disconnect. I have a much-needed vacation planned, and I know while I'm soaking up the sun on the beach, I'll be reaching for my BlackBerry every few hours like a bad habit. Honestly, I just want to make sure there are no emergencies!

Last year around this time, I brought you a list of some airports in the US
that offer free WiFi. Since many of us will be traveling this holiday season — with laptops and cell phones attached at our hips — it's helpful to know which airports won't be charging hefty rates for Internet use.
Many new airports have been added to the WiFi FreeSpot directory, so I suggest heading on over the site to see if the airports you'll be visiting this year
will give you net access for free.

I have taken a fair amount of trips in my day, and from my extensive trip planning, I just assumed that all travel agents were created equal. Boy, was I wrong. My last vacation turned out to be a bit of a bummer because our agent recommended some activities that were nothing like what they were described as, which really put a damper on my vacay.
