Unplugged

I love vacations.
I love Internet, Email,
And even Twitter.

Yes, that is written in Haiku format, thanks for noticing!

But, here’s the thing about the things I love. In order for me to have a true vacation, I need to be unplugged.

No Internet.
No Email.
No Twitter.

If I brought along all my cyberdevices, would I really be taking a break? I know myself enough to know that I wouldn’t be. The location and view would be different, but my mindset would be the same.  And, that’s not bad, it’s just not what I need right now.

Now, if you’re reading this, you’ll think I sound like a hypocrite. I mean, here I am! But I’m not really.

As you’re reading this, I’m probably lounging on the beach after a strenuous day of gallivanting around the countryside. By now, the thought of checking my email accounts or twitter streams are just a fleeting moment of thought as I hike to see what we can see, watch the waves, or take shadow portraits in the sand.

And, speaking of sand…I can’t imagine the mess I’d make by getting sand all over the Internet, so everything is unplugged and stored away in a safe place.

So, have a great weekend! I’ll be back to the real world soon enough.

Or am I already there?
