In this day and age we are connected to the world everywhere we go. Its good. Its handy. Its beneficial. It is also a distraction and an intrusion. Dave and I are embarking on an anniversary vacation to beautiful Jamaica. We feel so fortunate and grateful to be able to do this and wouldn't be possible without our wonderful grandparents.
We want to make the most of this trip and use this as a time to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with one another. The last time we had a big trip like this was our honeymoon...11 years ago.
Talk about how times have changed. I still remember our hotel room phone ringing with a colleague from Dave's work with a computer question. This was before common cell phone use and although we had left no contact number, this co worker had somehow managed to track us down in Maui, Hawaii with a question that really was all that important.
Its easy to get a hold of people now and in dozen of different forms. Of course cell phones are coming along on our trip (we feel its a necessity with kids), but the phones aren't going to dinner with us. Nor or they going to be on the beach or "something we just check "real fast" while the other is in the shower. These phones will miss out on the island's beauty as they reside in our suitcases.
Dave needs the mental break from it all. I need the unscheduled and unstructured time. Its good to be unplugged and I don't think it will be difficult in the least. People and relationships are truly
what is important. Its time to act like that. No problem, mon!
