Yes, that's probably the typical solution for someone that needs to do this often. If I always had dropbox and internet access on a laptop, it would work best for me also.
I do think Scrivener is definitely worth checking out. It's simple, but a bit of a shift in perspective from typical word processors, so I'd watch an intro video from their site or you tube to get started. One great thing about it is that you can get started quick and easy and it feels natural. Then over time you can learn and start to use all the advanced features like labels, keys, colors, outputting in various formats, etc.. They don't get in your way, but are there if you want them.
In my case, internet access is only available on my work computer and my phone. I have dropbox, but won't put dropbox on it because of company policy and security concerns. So if I don't want to do lots of manual synching, the only real remote writing options for me are those that make use of my smartphone data plan.
Most would probably just opt to carry around a laptop and pay the extra $$ for a hotspot/tethering data plan. And I haven't gotten to that point where it's worth the money yet because I don't really need it that often. Still, I think it's great to have the phone based option.
Edit: Here's the link for the
Scrivener official videos, if you're interested. The "Introduction to Scrivener" is the best starting point.
