With the polar vortex bringing extreme cold and a foot of snow to Grand Rapids, it’s time to put on the flannels and stoke the fire. Oh wait, the whole digital nomad thing is a thing for a reason. I fled the state for the week.
Greetings from Crystal River, Florida. My oldest and I drove on down over the week end. I worked from the hotel and he visited with his grandparents. As usual the hotel internet sucked so luckily, I had multiple devices with 4G and set them up as hotspots. T-Mobile has it nailed at this location. I was able to work while my son was raiding in World of Warcraft.
We drove so no concerns about limits on what we brought along. Here’s my load out for the week. I have to be a bit more selective when traveling the world.
- Work laptop (HP Zbook Studio G3)
- Personal laptop (Dell Inspiron 15)
- Personal laptop (Dell XPS 15)
- USB monitors (2)

- Wireless booster
