What Happens When You Spend a Week in a Luxury Vacation Rental with No Internet?
January 26, 2007. Lore Sjöberg's column, "I Survived My Internet Vacation," will make you laugh so hard you'll spit your coffee out on your keyboard. On his recent vacation, the Wired magazine columnist left his laptop at home "in a moment of deranged optimism." Somehow, he resisted the urge to visit the local Internet café.
His diary entries begin with promise as Mr. Sjöberg revels in the absence of Viagra ads and spam email. Slowly, however, he develops a kind of Web 2.0 delirium tremens – apparently unable to handle being unconnected – and must be checked into a local hospital.
We wish you a speedy recovery, Mr. Sjöberg. In honor of your noble experiment, we would like to offer some great luxury vacation rental destinations for fellow addicts who need to get away from rat race – but not the World Wide Web.
Glacier National Park – They may be way up north, but five of these six mountain homes have Internet availability, including high-speed options.
San Francisco – You can geek out in one of the most high-tech areas of the country with wireless connections in each of these luxury vacation rentals.
Bahamas – All of our these Bahamas properties have Internet access, so you can blog about your golf game and email beach photos to the poor sots back home.
