How much 'technology' do you bring on vacation with you?

The most I'd take is a camera and maybe a laptop computer, but otherwise, it's best to enjoy nature. Sometimes I think we are too spoiled with luxury and need to learn to appreciate the little things, especially when camping out. Now if it's a vacation to another city, I basically will enjoy what a hotel has to offer.

I have never been camping with my family before but since your camper has a lot of the mod. cons already, then I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take a laptop too. But i would prefer for a camping trip that as long as we had access to a phone incase of emergencies, then that is probably all we would need, besides the normal stuff you do take for camping. I think it would spoil the camping trip if our children took those playstation gadgets along, portable dvd player and so forth. I would not think to watch tv either (unless you were worried about the weather forcast and stuff) but then again you could use a radio for that. I think it may take away the overall enjoyment of the camping trip. Its a different story if your going on a road trip I would think :) Happy Camping and hope you have lots of fun! We hope to do that one day with our son too :)

It depends on the vacation, really. If we're going camping (we only tent camp), I take a cell phone (and leave it in the truck) and camera. If we're staying in a hotel, I tend to bring cell phone, camera, laptop and maybe video camera, depending on where we're going. Having the cell phone, camera and video camera definitely enhances the vacation - the cameras might be a minor pain to carry and keep up with while we're there, but the memories are absolutely priceless. I would be so angry with myself if I didn't have those. As for the laptop, I like to download pics at night while we're away (so I don't fill my camera up) and keep up with family and friends via email, if we'll be gone for a while. It's just handy, I'm somewhat of an internet addict - nice for the hotel downtime. :)

u bring ur home with u for the camping trip huh? i go on trips mostly to get a taste of nature dats ol

When i go camping...i try to rough it as much as possible...i would say that i bring a lantern and flashlights.. as my only technilogical advancement...but if i go on vacation to floirda or something...im flying the plane on my laptop listening to my ipod and playing video games haha so it really depends on where im heading

I class it as luxury if we get electric hook up when we camp. my mobile phone is about the best I get cos I can recharge it in the car :)

I could never camp. I am to much of a comfortable person that has to have a bed and stuff like that. I could also never sleep in a tent coz I would be to scared *lol* from ebverything like animals to killers =)

If I am going on vacation I want it to be a vacation from everything - that means the computer, cell phone and television. With that being said, the longest I ever went on such a vacation was three days. After that I had to drive home and lock myself in my office and get my internet fix lol.

If we are going camping, we take a tent and leave technology at home. I don't mind a radio in case we want to check on a weather report or something, but we usually just listen to the car radio. Most of our vacations are camping vacations, so I guess that we really don't need technology on vacations at all.

I always bring my cell phone, and I usually bring my laptop, so that I can transfer my photos to it from my memory cards each day.
