    I try and avoid all things electronic on holiday, and managed 4 weeks from 6 this summer.

    I had an iPhone and got so fed up just playing with it (games, text, internet, Facebook, etc), that I sold it within 2 months, as the evenings were just spent on it.

    Terribly addictive.

    The wife and I down tools on Friday night and ensure we have active weekends away from internet as a family. It works well, but was hard at first.

        13 days on holiday, after 2 days it was easy.

          I'm beginning to think I may get rid of my iPhone.

            Without wanting to sounds trite, it was one of the better tech decisions I have ever made. Now have a tri band nokia that makes calls, and sends texts. I even forget it sometimes as it has that little impact on my life now.

              When I went on holiday I used my Android everyday - maps, email, Facebook. It was nice to communicate to friends. Wasn't so pleasant to receive client emails and calls.

              I think next time I won't take it (or take an old fashioned mobile phone for emergencies only).

              And as for fecking data roaming charges!?!?!?! My god, what a rip-off.
              If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                  No. I'm outside your bathroom window, that lock looks loose....

                    It's actually open but I don't advise you to climb through it.
