Do you take your lap top with you

[low-key]

on vacation ? If so do you use it much ?

no, its nice to have but I got my blackberry to check out a few favorite places i might want to look at

 

[Cantw8]

a couple of times but I never used it. I will not be taking it in the future.

We will be there 10 days and although I will have my IPhone by then I will probably take my laptop. My husband has 2 internet cards so we won't have to pay for Disney internet service. We can just each use one of his internet cards.

I'll be taking my netbook this trip because I will be taking classes so I may have to check in. I am going during my fall break, but that only covers Monday and Tuesday... but I have permission to miss that Thursday's class as well. Then I have an online class.

But that is what I have to do to go when I want.

No, we try and disconnect from our lives when on vacation and with the exception of DS none of us have smart phones.

me to but still like to just check a couple of sports sites and a news site or two

 

[Aimeedyan]

Yes, always take it and almost always use it.

If we're only away for a long weekend or something, I don't. We both have smartphones. DH pretty much brings his work laptop EVERYWHERE!! Heck, if we go to the mall , he brings it and leaves it in the car! If we're away for a week or more, yes, I bring a laptop. I like to download memory cards every night.

 

[S. C.]

Never

 

[Cinderella94]

Yep. I upload our pictures from all 3 of our cameras every night.

 

[rie'smom]

Used to take my laptop now I take my iPad.

, Im so pathetic when i wake up I turn on news channels

Depends. If we're in the US & driving we take it. If we have to fly it depends on the length of the flight & the number of airports. We didn't take it during a 10 day trip to Turkey. We just took our digital camera & our iPhones. However, when we took a longer overseas trip we did take it because DH wanted to be able to dump pictures on it.

 

[dislaney]

Short trips - usually not. Longer trips we take the laptop.

 

[Mama-san]

Since we don't have smartphones, we do take our laptop with us on vacation. I don't have to do tons of printouts to take with me any more (except for coupons, tickets, etc.). It's used mainly to look up information on restaurants and local activites that I haven't already previously researched.

 

[si-am]

Not to Disney since you have to pay for internet.

Sometimes I'll take the Netbook for weekend getaways if there's free wi-fi at the hotel, but I don't always use it.

For our overseas trip next week, we'll be taking the Netbook and an iPod Touch so that we can keep in touch with people back home.

 

[Tink888]

Depends on where we're going and for how long. I do use it when I bring it though.

 

[tvguy]

Nope. Laptop stays home. I do bring a cell phone in case of an emergency, but my last vacation was to a remote area of Canada with no cell coverage.

This, exactly. It's so much lighter and easier to carry!

I am a fairly early riser and DH is definitely NOT - so I'll lounge in bed checking news, Facebook, Twitter, DIS....you know, the "important" stuff - while he sleeps in a bit. The tv will wake him, and I like my morning time...whether I'm at home or on vacation!
