How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

Do you read newspapers to keep up with current events?
Check your emails?
Got a local SIM so you can call/txt people?
Call home to check in with family?

Or do you ignore the world until it’s time to go home?

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

Ignore as much as possible.

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

The first thing I do after baggage clearance is getting a local sim and checking my emails/fb and then call home. Local news? Not really but yeah I do check news from back home and bloomberg/wsj (which is sort of daily routine whereever I am)

Cost of ignoring the world is just to much....

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

2 and 4 mainly......

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

Pretty much ignoring everything listed except calling home and talking to family briefly. I usually just get a calling card and make calls from the hotel.

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

Usually I tell my family before going on mini vacation, but if I am on vacation no one disturbs me. Only no. 4 in case of emergency.

DO all - number 3 with international roaming , so no need to go local .

Newspaper is part of daily life.

Re: How "connected" are you when you're on vacation?

Usually take local sim and get connect with local friends. Newspaper/TV(unfortunately, this facility is not quick as it supposed be due load shedding).
