I have to admit, I have never really done this…taking a truly “tech free” vacation. No Internet, no cell phone, nuttin’.

I’ve gone very light on occaision – no laptop, just my phone – but that probably doesn’t really count. Being as I have BlackBerry, I get a pretty full Internet experience on that if I want. I can keep up on the news, check out all my favorite info sites, everything. Never mind full email capabilities on either my business or personal accounts.

This article by Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine details a cruise he took where he really was tech-free. He discusses some pretty interesting stuff, and I know what he means: standing in line for something and checking his phone for news and all that. The best – maybe worst? – thing about my BlackBerry is that I am never bored. If I get stuck someplace, I don’t care. I just read on my phone. I can waste hours that way if needed. Hmmm…”waste” hours…maybe I just answered my own question…

Anyhow, great article. He titles it “Do any of us remember how to take a real vacation from technology?, which is a really good question, at least for many of us.
