It is two weeks that stretch to five, family visits stitched together with tourism, a base in one city and day trips in every direction. A trip shaped like that has a different relationship with the internet than a weekend getaway does, and it deserves a setup that matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tourist needs data for a week of maps.
