As I've said several times, email me to get an 'invitation' to set up a
GMail account-- which will get you an address.

Google is not an ISP (as AOL is); as a result, you need some way to
access the Internet in order to make use of a Gmail (or Hotmail or Yahoo
Mail, for that matter) account.

You could use, for example, AOL to get online-- then point your web
browser to www.gmail.com to get your email.

When I'm travelling, I tend to use public libraries, web cafes, or the
lobbies of hotels-- where WiFi access is often free.
