If you needed more blogging ideas, it wouldn't be a bad idea to walk about with a camera and constantly thinking about blog titles and content. But if you needed some tie off work, probably it would be better to just leave the computer at home? Just what I'm thinking :D I guess it depends on why you take a vacation in the first place.

I have to confess the internet connection is one of the main criteria I use when I pick a hotel for my vacation. I always have my laptop with me, although I spend less time in front of it during my time off. This year I plan to stay away for 3 weeks, so not even in my wildest dreams I wouldn't be able to be far from the online world for that long :) Besides, I will be surrounded by sea, mountains and ruins to visit, so I think my imagination will be at its peak. Enjoy what's left of your vacation! Alina Hi Chris!

I set a new record and went a whopping 5 days without getting on the web at all. This is the longest amount of time I've been off the grid in years. It may be an all time record. Although this created a bit of anxiety, I have found the experience to be very rewarding. I feel as if I have a fresh clean slate and can see things in a brand new light. I use to make myself take one day off a week from the web/computer... I'm starting to think this may be a good habit to pick up again.

However, I do think that you are OK in taking your laptop as it enables you to discharge or record your thoughts and ideas digitally for future blogging activities. It sounds as though you have found a balance between the laptop and family that should keep everyone happy. Keep enjoying the French landscape and food. Best regards Tom Hi Chris

Not because I am religious. It was just a good pick. I found out that the Monday afterwards produced some of my best posts. I think a break gives your brain a time to unwind and take a step back. The results after your break may be better than if you work during it. Hey, give it a try and shut the thing off for a while. At one time I made it a practice not to turn on the computer on Sunday.
