Plan B: An SMB's Guide To Making Do During The Recession

What's the ultimate luxury these days? How about a long, leisurely vacation in a land so exotic, so far away, so unspoiled, that you can't get cell service or a Web connection?

Given all the economic stress these days, such a trip could be just the tonic you need.

Now, welcome back to reality with Plan B. Forget the very idea of a vacation and instead embrace the thought of seven hours stuck in the middle seat on yet another business trip from Phoenix to Cleveland. Think that you'll at least get a few hours of Internet-free peace while doing your human pretzel imitation?

Think again. Welcome to Plan B, the exact opposite of Plan A -- Wi-Fi on the plane! You've got work to do. Now you can work. So now you have to work on the plane. What fun!

Bottom Line: If you can't get away, you may be better off staying home.
