Offline Vacation

25 Feb

I am not fond of being “online” when I’m on vacation. This is, perhaps, because I prefer to take vacations where technology doesn’t work. It is also one of few times where I will engage in social behavior and actually speak to others in full sentences—with eye contact, even. But this only works if your travel mates are on the same page. Otherwise you find yourself talking to yourself in a potentially psychotic sort of way.
