Could You Live Without A Computer and Internet?

How long do you think you could live without your computer and an internet connection. I am heading off to vacation in May and am going to try for 9 days

It's a nice thought to take a break from the PC but I don't think I'd get away if I tried or would I really want to?

I do my school over the internet right now so if the internet was cut I would have to go somewhere it worked.

My idea of a vacation is to have a laptop with a wifi connection in Aruba connected to my network at home. I'd sip a few strawberry dacari's go on a tour dressed like a tourist and after 2 days I'd be ready to go home.

I can always make it without for a vacation, but on this last trip we took the laptop so we could find maps and directions around FL. That place can be friggin' confusing. If you have a phone with GPS you wouldn't need the computer, but if no phone or GPS, you'll have to go back to the old methods of asking directions and checking maps.

It's just so useful and gives me something to do in downtime! I've been kind of poor most of my life so I've gone long periods without, so I know I can do it. In some ways I'd probably be better off without, too, but it's such a convenience. All the knowledge I need is here on the net and it's easier to get ahold of any of my friends here when the phone fails.
