Because we were camping, I did most of my Internet work at McDonald's and my laptop recognized all of the wireless signals available where ever I was. (Click on the little monitor icon on your task tray to find signals.) Every McDonald's I used had electric plug ins avail too. Because there was usually four or five signals available, I had to ask each establishment for the name of their signal and their password. All McDonald's stores required me to "accept their terms of use." That button is usually found near the bottom of the page and you have to scroll down to find it. If you are staying at hotels they should all offer free Internet (make sure before you check in) and will provide the name of their signal and the password. I know you can also catch a signal at Starbucks. I will occasionally use their signal when I'm near one downtown and I've never needed a password. Take your laptop out with you a couple of times before you leave and visit a McDonald's or some other store that offers wifi. That way you can get familiar with how it works and get more comfortable using wifi. Personally, I would not use an unsecured signal if I was doing any trading or banking.
