When you go on a vacation do you take your laptop with you?

When I take a family vacation I always take my laptop with me, just because I know that where I'm staying they usually have free high speed internet access. I usually use my laptop to download picture off my camera. I also use it to surf for locals things to do, check out the local weather and sometime catch up with emails. Of course I use my laptop at the end of the day or on down time. How about you all, do you take your laptop with you on vacation?

I like to take my laptop with me when I travel for business or for vacation, laptop is really good for me to check every kind of information which i am interested in or I need, such as booking tickets, receiving or sending emails, stocks information and sales, download pictures off my camera, sth else like you have mentioned here, really convenient for work or vacation. I really don't know how to do if I leave my laptop at home.

I always take my laptop with me. Like you, I download any pictures I've taken for the day so as to clean my card off for the next day.
I also wrote some articles I had due on my last vacation. Some of the articles I write have deadlines so I had to get them done.
It's nice having the laptop for keeping in touch with friends also.

I take my laptop as well. I just need it for everything. I have the broadband internet to where I can use it wherever I am. I hate not knowing where I'm going and getting lost and with my laptop it won't be too bad. I also download my pictures of my camera onto my computer that way it doesn't build up too much and I have to wait a long time for all of them to download. I like to type a lot as well, so I like to type about each day and so forth.

I don't take it with me usually. I just bring my cellphone and leave my laptop at home. Unless, I go on a business trip, I'd better leave it at home. One time, I brought my laptop with me, I forgot to check if the hotel room has an in room safe deposit box. When I got to the hotel room, I can't find one. Bad luck. The whole vacation time, I had to bring along my laptop with me because I can't leave it in the hotel room. It is easier to have a smart phone and bring it while having a vacation. It can be used for surfing the internet and checking emails without putting more weight.

each time i leave my country and go for vacation, i feel sad because i dont take my laptop with me. i just have too many luggages and the laptop would have been only "not welcomed" there. when im on vacation, i miss terribly too much internet. i often think im an internet addict. but once i turn back from the vacation, i use the computer for 2-3 hours and then it doesnt seem interesting to me.

I take mine because I like to watch movies and keep up with my e-mails. Also it gives me something to do if I have extra time and nothing to do. It's also great to look up local adventures and things to do. I even bring it if I don't use it, I just like to know it's there. It's my lifeline.
