I guess i was basically wondering if it would be possible to access the internet as we traveled, on the road. So if there were no towns around to access free wireless cafe's or whatnot. on the road wireless? does this exist... affordable?

The easiest place to get free (or nearly free) access to the internet while traveling is at the local library in whatever town you happen to be in, And they provide the computer! If you have a wi-fi card, you can typically just sit out front and get access that way, or just go in, check at the desk and see what's available. Usually there will be some time limit, but if no one is waiting for access when your time is up, they'll just let you keep going. It sometimes helps if you have a library card from your own home library, and there may sometimes be a nominal fee, but libraries are an excellent option. They're quieter than Starbucks and there will be those green and white signs giving you directions once you get in town.

So, my sister and I are leaving from VT on this road trip cross country, we plan on leaving mid-may and adventuring for a month or better. So my question is if I'm off in thinking that If we're traversing from east to west coast, going through the northern states - dakotas then montana, then going down the entire west coast, washington state to 3/4 down Cali coast, then through az, texas, NEW ORLEANS, then shooting directly up back to vt, skipping the east coast, maybe detoring into Kansas, A MAJOR DETOUR, but one that my sister really wants to see... im thinking we'll put on between 12,000 and 15,000. Does this sound about right??
Our main sites of interest are: Montana, West coast, az, texas, colorado, kansas, louisianna, tenessee, real sprawled out obviously. Any suggestions for making the work using best scenic routes, and cutting on as much mileage as possible??
A really broad question I know, I was hoping some veterans or anyone might give us some advice. Thank you!!
Trying to cut as much mileage as possible doesn't seem like it would be in line with a trip where you are trying to see as much as possible. The fewer miles you travel, the fewer places you'll be able to see.
As far as a real basic route, I don't see why this would be so hard. If you pull out your map, drive through your northern tier of states on the way west and then come back through your southern/central tier on your way back east. That seems like it would make a whole lot more sense that going all the way out to NOLA and then doubling back hundreds of miles to Kansas or other western states.
