Yes, I feel it is imperative to disconnect now and then.
by Sheepingly needs no handy men only hugs on September 17th, 2007
Yes as long as you guys have each other.
by scubaduba on February 12th, 2008
Yes, I could be and I have been. It can actually be quite freeing.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on February 12th, 2008
Yes! I really need a week like that.
by Roger Roger on February 12th, 2008
Heaven...it must be heaven...wow
by shammers still slogging along on January 30th, 2008
Absolutely, definitely, of course, yes!!!!
by 8bitlove on September 19th, 2007
Oh yeah! I spend my whole summer vacations disconnected. That's why there's that lapse from June to mid August when I'm not here.
by SG QOTABD RIP SHELLA DARLING on September 19th, 2007
i could do that if lee went with me ,but it would have be to for six months and i dont want either of us to be interuped.we need to get back in touch with each other. but i dont think that would be happening any time soon.
by Nathan Explosion on September 17th, 2007
Hell yes! I would love it and someday my wife and i plan to make it a reality!
by Shelby on September 17th, 2007
When I first read this, I thought you said you were walking away FROM your wife and animals! I'm glad I mis-read! Haha.
I actually JUST got back from camping for a week, where I was disconnected. It was unintentional though. I brought my cell phone, but it didn't get service where I was.
by Rescuer Treesaw on September 17th, 2007
I would love to have that disconnection for even 3 days right now!
P.S. Will the cats like the ride?
by SASSYWI-Q-Sassia-Jetpacking with NASCAR on September 17th, 2007
Sounds like fun so enjoy it.
I could stay unplugged for something like that;but
there would have to be a good reason!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!
by thekingcobra63 on September 17th, 2007
I could be disconnected for the rest of my life. I hate the cell phones and the rat race. I might have to come back to town during football season though, then leave again after the Superbowl.
by Yeux on September 17th, 2007
That sounds heavenly. I did similar for three months and I had the time of my life.
by Cynstriss on September 17th, 2007
I sure could be! Have a wonderful time. I am so jealous!
by Worzel on September 17th, 2007
I've done it many times as a soldier and apart from "SARGE" it was brilliant. Enjoy it :)
by JustCurious on September 17th, 2007
I would love to do something like that. Sounds wonderful. Have a great time!
by Katie on September 17th, 2007
Totally! Did it this summer. The 1st few hours were tough... but I felt so good and free after a few days that re-entering the real world was kinda tough!
by beach princess on June 20th, 2008
yes! i lost my handphone once and i decided not to get one yet... for almost 2 months i was free and it was so refreshing! nothing to worry about... but i had to get 1 if not i'd miss a trip to boracay and it would suck bigtime if i did... but just the 2 of you? i think that would be great... i'd love that! thanks for the idea ^^
by peterpam on April 1st, 2008
Enjoy your time my friend!
by THE TRAVEL SLUT on April 1st, 2008
I know I can because I have done so, but not by choice then and it would not be by choice now.
by DudeLer on April 1st, 2008
You must be back by now. Will we see a report on this entry?
by Anonymous on March 22nd, 2008
That's crazy to not carry a phone. What if something or someone tries to hurt you God fobid. If I was you I woul carry a phone and don't forget your compass.
by Simply99 -- Not a fan favorite. on February 19th, 2008
Make it a month and you've got yourself a deal.
by Ms.A on February 19th, 2008
I've done it and enjoyed it very much.Have fun!
by hurricane bridgette on February 19th, 2008
Ooooh that is fun to do every once in awhile. To not let people think they have access to you that much. To just have simple time, no stress of sad news on the tv, no stupid drama that your friends tell you. Just you and your loved ones. I hope you had a wonderful time..I love to do that.
by becccc on January 6th, 2008
i don't think i cold ever do that totally, no.
i couldn't in the woods.
but maybe on a beah somewhere.
no tv, computer.
but i could never live without a phone.
by Deanna on November 29th, 2007
Oh yes, it would be wonderful, actually we are trying to find a place to homestead further out of town than we are now. I will be so happy to find something soon, we will grow our own fruits and veggies, (more than we do now). We have lived like that before on someone elses property we leased, but we want to own our own property.
by Mike has a Day job. on September 20th, 2007
When can I start?
I would need to do a little planning, but I 'd love to.
by TheMan--- on September 19th, 2007
yes...you dont even notice when your on holiday.
by Just Me on September 18th, 2007
Yes sir especially with my hubby all alone I so wish I were you, but I have 3 kids right at this moment who need us around so maybe in the future.
by Mrs Mike Rowe on September 18th, 2007
It would be entertaining to know how the cats do being disconnected from their normal environment.I would welcome a week of disconnection.No dirty jobs.
by Mentalmum is back on September 18th, 2007
Hey have a great time Nelson, you will be sorely missed (what happens if i need you re the jetpacks??) Actually i will be 'offline' too from the 1st October until 10th as we are also going on holiday with the kids...so it will be my turn next !!!
by u.. on September 17th, 2007
Just was and it was super lovely!!
by Anonymous on September 17th, 2007
I did it for two weeks at the end of August. I'm not much of a camper, but we did alright.
by BarnKat007 on September 17th, 2007
Absolutely! I am VERY envious of you right now, and if I could afford another vacation at this time, I'd rent a cabin out in the "boonies" and do the same! Good for you!
by tiberseptim on September 17th, 2007
No.
by Kiss A Fat Babys Ass on September 17th, 2007
yes absolutely wouldn't bother me a bit.Enjoy yourself
by Gideon on September 17th, 2007
I crave it. In fact, I'm planning the same thing for next Fall. I'd do if for a solid year if I could.
by Shady Guy on April 1st, 2008
definitely. Especially on a sailboat sailing the South Pacific ro the Greek Isles.
by zazzy_one on April 1st, 2008
I was disconnected for a year. It was tough. It was spiritual. I would never give it backa and I would never do it again.
by iwnit on April 1st, 2008
I could do it alone. But if I were in the same situation, I would probably not stay disconnected from my wife...
;-)
by mistje on April 1st, 2008
Yep, especially if I had my husband and kitty with me.

Do you know where to go when you want to play in the snow? Lassen Volcanic Ntl. Park in northern California. 2 days ago hubby and I did it.

Traveler(s) are on a road trip and they stop by to ask you directions, what do you do/what do you say?

You're reading I'm going to walk away for about a week with my wife, cats and dog. We are going to a cabin in the middle of nowhere by a river tomorrow. No computers, no phones, just us. Do you think you could be disconnected for a week?

Thanks, and we disconnected as much as we could (a couple of phone calls, but no computers). My wife and I went wandering around in a river in the mountains with the dog in the mountains. It was hard the first day, but there was a certain feeling of release on day two.
by Nelson - Jetpacking from bed on September 21st, 2007
Yes, once I get into the beauty of nature, I don't really miss the "e-world".
by Mrs.Dufresne on September 22nd, 2007
It was great!
