    oh, oh, it looks like we will go to my wifes childhood home for several weeks.

    It's really nice, tropical climate, hammocks and everything, but it's also the end of the world where mobile phones stop working and the Internet is something completely unheard off :(

    What kind of useful work can a webmaster do in such a place?

    I would like to continue building my business while we are away, but I have no idea what I can do without an Internet connection. I know that I can buy some books and read them in the hammock, but I'm looking for something more than that.

    Any ideas?

    The best ideas will get a postcard from the tropics :)

    take a crappy (cheap) laptop, and type a load of content for your site.

    Have been thinking about that, but then I'll really need to bring lots of reference materials (books, etc.). Having the reference materials on my computer isn't good enough since my laptop have a 12" screen...

    True... but it will probably be for 6 weeks - an eternity on the Internet.

    well, I would possibly go out and view the area around the house, maybe bring a nice juicy novel, and don't forget MUSIC!

    Some of my best ideas come from playing with coconuts. Try it.

    Lol, let your business go for a little while. Relax, and call upon the Muse for new, fresh ideas.
