I hate using you as a plug, but since you have been so good about input from the onset of the idea, I figured I should let you know the idea is getting ready to flower.

BTW great pics. :)

Crazy amazing there huh? I was there in Nov with my bride for our 3rd anniversary and I absolutely know what you mean about "unplugging"...or at least trying to! I fall into a guilt trip sort of mentality...it's like I *know* I shouldn't be "working", but I feel so relaxed and actually *enjoy* kicking back on the "lanai" or in a beach chair and hammering out a blog post, working on backlinks, tweaking seo, coming up with new monetization strategies, etc. <br><br>But yeah...I stayed pretty much unplugged in Kauai and just soaked it all in. Most amazing place I've ever seen in my life! Looks like you all ended up in Kauai based on that shot of Waimea Canyon! Crazy amazing there huh?

I love to unplug and not necessarily for the "break" but sometimes I have to step away to get things done. So my perspective may be different than most, but sometimes I think staying so plugged in can be THE excuse of laziness. You know the term "busy body"? Well, I find that often times people are sooo connected to technology that they can waste hours on their modern high tech gadgets and are unable to get things done that are really important....like face2face with clients and employees- and even family. On your vacation you became unintentionally unplugged, but quickly determined that you wanted it that way, which means you became intentional. The whole thing is really about being intentional. If you are going to be plugged in, be intentional about how you do it...otherwise, it is...pointless. Hi Annie,

Yes, a short break, a walk outside, a workout, but I always come back refreshed with clearer thinking, perspective and often cannot get the words out fast enough.<br><br>I say you made the BEST choice! Glad you had such a fabulous time and welcome back!

I am glad to hear that the tsunami wasn't as bad as they had feared, my brother's family was there last week as well. On to your question, I do think it is important to unplug once in awhile and make sure to focus your energies on in-person conversation and not be so glued to electronics. It is hard for me to not be glued to my computer, cell phone, etc. but it is liberating to get away once in awhile and just ENJOY nature!! =) Ohhh how I wish I could go back to Hawaii and get away from this cold weather right now!
