As we speak, or as I type would be more appropriate, I am sitting in the backseat of a friend’s vehicle on my way to Missouri to see my best friend. It was totally a last minute decision that I should get to go. My oldest daughter and her husband, his brother and wife and their kids, all planned this road trip a few weeks ago, but due to finances, it wasn’t feasible for my husband and I to go. As it turned out, my daughter’s van had a lug nut break off, and they were able to borrow a friend’s car, making room for one more. So, here I am, working from the road, literally.
I am fortunate enough to be able to tether my laptop to my phone in order to have access to the Internet at 
all times…well at least when I have signal. So far there’s only been one area I didn’t have signal and that was because we had to take a detour off the main highway for construction which took us to a woodsy back road.
I also have an adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter for power so I can work on my laptop endlessly. I’m sure I won’t work endlessly, but it is nice being able to work as long as I can. After all, what else am I going to do for 14 hours!
So, one of the great things about working from home is being able to work where I want! I can go on last minute trips and still make money. Now, I definitely don’t intend on making every trip a working trip, but since this one was so last minute, it sure is handy knowing I can.
