Survival WITHOUT Gadgets

I am going away on vacation in a few weeks and i have vowed not to take any gadgets and gismo's with me. This means no laptop, no phone, no cute little mp3 player, no PDA.... nothing. Just me and the big wide world... The question now is will I manage not to buy any gadgets whilst I am away because of "gadget withdrawl symptoms". Can it be done?

Well I guess I will find out in 3 weeks time. I will report back and let you know how it went and what happened... I can guaruntee that I will feel totally lost without my gadgets. That is a fact. I feel lost if I leave my mobile at home... Oh this is going to be interesting.

Viewing your blog through the RSS feed your post had an attached advert about sending and receiving faxes from anywhere, so I guess you can always fall back to sending a fax if you can't stay clear of electronics :-)

I had 5 days away from email, laptop and phone while on vacation recently and it was a refreshing experience - I thoroughly recommend it!

I planned to blog my hill walking exploits in Derbyshire Peaks via my mobile but soon found there was rarely a signal. I ended up with a waterproof notepad and pencil, and "blogged" the old-fashioned way for 3 days and nights. Wrote 40 pages in the end and had to transcribe the flippin' lot myself when I got home. It can be done but it's not easy :=) Remember to take a pencil sharpener :P
