So I recently picked up a Verizon PC5750 Wireless PC Card. It's one of their newest. The unit was $49.99 with a $50.00 rebate (MIR). The monthly services is $59 (2-year term).

Last year during Thanksgiving week, we took a great vacation on a 7-day Hawaiian cruise. It was so fun, we are doing it again this year, only this time the week after Thanksgiving. We'll be going a few days early and meeting up with our family that will be there during the week.
So what should I pack this time?
