Great question.
I have run into this problem while away for vacation (same country and out of country).
I do the following to make things work a little easier until I am able to return home:
Hotel- if I am at a hotel I will inquire about wifi access so that I may use my phone as a hotspot for internet and not over spend on my data plan that I pay for with my cell phone company. Roaming charges can be quite pricey.
Local Libraries: Libraries in all major cities have computers and it is simple to go and get a short term libary card which includes access to their computers for public use. I have found this to be quite helpful as computers at libraries are updated with current software and devices. For this suggestion, be sure to inquire public library hours so you may schedule your time to access this public service. Some libaries may charge a small fee for this.
Internet Cafes - major cities have internet cafes and even coffee shoppes offer wifi to it's customers for free. For an example while I was away, I looked for Starbucks, Tim Horton's, Timothy's coffee and even Seattle's best coffee shoppes - all offer wifi for free therefore, I just go to such places for my morning coffee and work on my SFI business while I drink my java.
Family/friends - if you're staying with family and friends just ask about using their wifi access or their computer to do work. I do this often and have never been denied as people have more awareness that when on vacation this does not mean work stops. Business owners and employees consistently check e-mails and other communication for work to ensure that one doesn't miss anything so as to be ready for work again after the vacation. Another bonus is you may provide a tutorial to other family members about the SFI Way and sign them up as PSA's.
Internet Hotspot devices - I love my wifi device when I go to the cabin. I have a device which enables me to access the internet even when I am on a boat fishing in the middle of the lake in the middle of no-where. I use my device often and will take it with me when I travel to places where I know wifi is not available. I obtained my wifi internet device from my cell phone provider for a small montlhy fee.
Internet Service - if you're away for a long period let's say 3 months or more, you may want to consider getting a plan from a local internet provider and start accessing the internet by using local businesses that offer the service. This helps the local merchants and also you may use this opportunity to create a working relationship with the merchant to offer deals to other SFI TripleClicks members - viola you have an ECA.
