Do You Take Your Laptop?
September 23rd 2008 04:09
My next trip may not be right away, but it will be the first time I'll have to seriously consider taking my laptop. I've travelled with it, of course, but not on a mega-leaving-thecountry-for-a -while getaway.
In earlier times, when laptops weren't invented and long distance calls cost way too much, I enjoyed the complete disconnection of being away from home. How can you miss a place or a person when you speak to them daily? (Apart from those 2 or 3 years in the 20s that everyone can be forgiven for).
If I leave the laptop at home and don't check into an internet cafe, will I be getting away with something?
Dervla Murphy is my role model.

Maybe if I had a one-way computer - no incoming! - I would feel less reticent.
I'm glad that my phone is not equipped to work internationally.
Like your different perspectives, esp about the weather. For sailors and outdoor enthusiasts, I see your point. Safety can be enhanced, so why not use the tools.
