I will be leaving soon to begin fulltiming. There are so many issues to deal with, and I will just have to take them one by one. I will have to use my laptop computer for wi-fi access, where available.
Does this mean I will be unable to access my bank account online for security reasons (or lack of security)? I think I will be using unsecured networks, so will the bank's own security program cover me? I will eventually get an air card, and will that eliminate issues with security?

Your bank will be using a secure connection that can be used on public networks. I haven't heard of one not using a secure connection in a long time.
But make sure you have up to date virus and firewall protection before using any public network regardless of doing your banking. A virus or worm can plant a key logger on your machine which will capture everything you type if you don't have good protection.
