While drafting my auto-reply out of office response at work today, I thought of all the fun and somewhat cruel ways I could articulate that, well, I'm going away for two weeks to the Mediterranean.
Meh, no biggs. Just gonna be eating some delish food in some sunny city by the ocean, after a day of shopping and art-appreciating.
After I caught myself from drifting too far off into these Euro day dreams, I settled into realizing I'd like to be more than just disconnected from work emails, I want to be... totally unplugged. However there are so many excuses you can give yourself, so that you remain somewhat connected.
I'll of course need to download pictures somewhere in case my memory card gets full! Or perhaps a call to #gma would be appreciated, or a text to friends? Might as well just tweet, so that you can reach everyone at once! Shouldn't forget the opportunity to get badges or become mayor of something? Leanne is now mayor of the Sistine Chapel - it's got a ring to it, non?
Plus, I question the bill that will arrive after some legit data roaming outside of Canada. And, I have done this before, for both my spring break trips to Cancun and DR, I was, mostly unconnected. Sort of?
Regardless, my cheat is my iPod touch, not my iPhone or Blackberry - it can take photos, videos, it's small, plays music (surprise!) and it is wifi capable should I decide to drop a twitpic at a hotspot.
So I promise to take a bunch of pictures and ideally have enough video content to post a Year of Four-ish video, that will be inspired by...abstractly inspired by Beyonce's 20min feature.
Ciao!
PS. Back on the 30th-ish, I think...or never?
