Travel and internet poker

[coybarnes]

I am planning a major trip and would like to continue playing at Party Poker during my travels. Is there anyone out there that plays extensively away from home? I have a few questions as to the best way to do this. I will be traveling for pleasure, not business, so I will not be staying in business hotels that would offer easy net access to its guests. Also, some of the travel will be international. My questions are:
What is the best device to use? Laptop? Palm Pilot? Has anyone played on Party Poker using a PDA? What is the best way to overcome the limited battery life of a laptop, if used?
What is the best way to connect to the internet? Wifi?Cellular? Landline?
What locations are condusive to play? Libraries? Coffee houses? Hotel lobbies?
I'm sure I'm missing some important questions here, so if there is anyone that plays on the road often and could elaborate, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance.
