indigo_rose99In this modern age, one of the things I value highly is having a vacation from the constant onslaught of email and media. When I'm connected to my own wifi I am connected to everything, even if I'm technically on vacation.
But a cruise ship is different. We have 265 minutes (because we are preferred travelers) of very slow wifi on board, which we mostly use to play our game. I don't watch youtube news videos, I don't read the news on cnn.com or bbc.com. I am limited in my email access... It is really a change. I love it.
I'm reading a lot. Which I anticipated, downloading books before we left. and the ship has a lovely library. I have to admit that I went the luxury route and hit their large print section first. Ah, limited squinting....

Many people enjoy a media-free day once a week. You might like to try that!
