My family is vacationing on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and wi-fi internet access is still a bit sparse in the golfing mecca. Although our resort promises to have a wi-fi network installed in the next few days, it will be too late for us (until next year, that is!). In the mean time, I’ve stopped by my favorite wireless hotspot, the Internet Café & Sundries shop in Coligny Plaza, the de facto downtown of the island.

The Internet Café & Sundries shop is one of the few public hotspots on the island, and the rates are reasonable: $30 for a week’s worth of unlimited wi-fi access, 24 hours a day. There are also a dozen Windows PCs connected to the net, for those who don’t travel with a notebook computer.

The free coffee bar makes this shop a welcome morning stop.

Next year I may have free wi-fi access in our villa, but if not, I’ll be back to the Café for a signal and coffee.
