I enjoyed these 7 tips from Mashable for travelling bloggers. Really, they’re useful for more than just bloggers. Great for short trips like a weekend away or escaping the snow all winter long in Oxnard.

How many times have you read a blog post that started, “So I wrote this big long post and I lost it when the site /computer crashed so I’m just writing a short update…”. Well if you first write up everything offline you not only save time on the internet (great when paying by the minute) but you also have a backup(s). Also great for when you inevitably switch services.
