Last month, my husband and I took a road trip to Idaho. 1600 miles in a little over 24 hours on the way out. I was brain dead by the time we reached my mom's house in little Bowmont. After meeting family and spending some time with siblings, we took off for a week in the mountains above Crouch.
No cell reception.
No internet.
No computer as the power drained quickly.
Totally unplugged.
And I liked it. I didn't post to social media. I didn't check my email. I didn't finish the book that's due at the end of September. :)
Instead, I relaxed, took walks, laughed with friends and family, and snapped a lot of pictures.
We played tourist on the the way back home and took a few more days for the return trip.
Are you a fan of unplugging? Or do you like your modern conveniences?

I'm a HUGE fan of unplugging! I wrote a post on my blog not long ago called "The Need to Disconnect." I believe we all need to unplug from time to time; some of us more frequently than others. :)
My unplugged times come when my computer is in the shop. And I hate it.
I don't use my cell phone much for calls, in fact, can't even remember my number, but I do get email on it and check my Facebook. Also have an iPad I take with me on trips.
Patricia, I believe it's a learned behavior. I did have a few days of withdraw....
Marilyn, I didn't get even cell reception for a week.
