I ran across your blog and found your post interesting. I’m not sure if you have heard of CellSpin since you haven’t posted anything in your blog about the service.

Cellspin is the easiest, FREE, and can do all 4 media types on the go. I love being able to post videos of my daughter while I’m in the supermarket with her. I was worried my phone was not supported but they have over 300 phones supported. Better yet, they support LJ, Flickr, Facebook, Myspace, and many other popular Web 2.0 companies.

I love the fact that most of my blogging tools are online so when I travel to Pittsburgh to visit family I can blog just as well from their computer as I do from my home computer (although I usually bring my MacBook and blog with that.

I just returned from Mexico, and though my last few trips, to Hawaii and Costa Rica, I did use the computer this time I refrained, and it was the best thing I have done in some time.

When I’m a disconnected vacation, I don’t take anything with me. However, I’m a grad student and that doesn’t stop due to vacation – and this is a cycling vacation more than anything, so I chose not to be fully disconnected.

I find some of this relaxing in my own way anyways :)

I agree with Jen, while I do take along a lot of similar gear switching off is preferable. My wife still gives me hell about one “vacation” from the early days of Performancing where I was walking around lake louise waving my PDA in the air while trying to get a better signal so I could be shouted at via skype for being offline for 10mins :)

My last vacation I had no choice, the connections I expected just weren’t there – no phone signal and no internet, wired or wireless. Had the shakes first few days but then settled into it.

I use a MacBook and iPhone to stay connected with both clients and the Internet. I could not imagine not being able to do just that. I blog from anywhere and everywhere. And with the tools available, there is no reason not to.

I am of the mindset that if I am not connected, I can not relax. I just don’t think I could due without it. Even on vacation, if I don’t have access, I would not be able to relax and enjoy. Oh well!!!!

So let me get this straight…you took two laptops on a bicycling vacation in the Ozarks? Sometimes it’s ok (and even healthy!) to detach for a couple of days. No blogging…no reading RSS feeds…just enjoying your surroundings and your company. Having that separation makes going back to the daily grind a lot easier.

My wife & I blogged nearly daily on our Russian Adoption Journal from a rented high-rise Moscow apartment (killer view!) while we were there for a week in December and again for 3 weeks back in January. Neither of us had been big notebook users before, but we actually got quite comfortable with the Dell Latitude we borrowed from work.
