[DM-MUG] iPhone use cuts down on hauling MacBookPro

[John Kisner]

That's an interesting blog entry.  Let me relay a different travel  
experience.  In July, my family went to Tampa area for a vacation.   
The rule was "no computers."  So no obsessive checking email and web  
sites.  Best vacation I've had in a long time.

What inspired this new family vacation rule was a trip we took to  
Keystone earlier this year.  We were all frustrated because the  
internet connection in the condo we stayed at was so hit-and-miss.  I  
realized then how powerful the addiction was.

Ironically, given your joy over how the iPhone might replace the  
laptop while traveling, is another possible "family rule" for next  
year.  In Keystone I was frustrated by the frequent cell phone  
interruptions, and it was suggested that next time we meet this other  
family on vacation none of the kids bring their cell phones.  We're  
going to try and cut out social calling/texting while traveling too.
