will you take your laptop when you are on a holiday?

I would take it with me too..You never know when it might come in handy. Like directions to some place, places to visit and anything else that might need to look up.. Tell hubby that it wont interfer with him and the vacation.. Heck you wont have to unpack unless it is a must..Jsut remember it is a vacation with the hubby so no logging in on Mylot....LOL..Have a great trip and have fun...

Hmmmmm, I would probably take a laptop to York, but not to Ayia Napa! It is good to be able to stay in touch with friends, particularly if you know that there will be a wifi hotspot there! But getting one through customs in cabin baggage is a bit of a nuisance, which is why I wouldn't take one abroad, as I would feel compelled to carry it around with me. You could send electronic postcards to your friends instead of cardboard ones, although I must admit there is something nice about a postcard plopping onto the doormat with good wishes from a friend. But it depends how big your laptop is... I have one of those Asus Netbooks that can fit inside my camera bag, or possibly even my coat pocket at a push... Mind you, my camera bag is quite big! lol!

Hi sblossom, I always take my laptop on my vacations. Most of the time I use it to see what is going on in the local areas that we may never have been aware of prior to our trip. It is also good to get directions too. There have been times when I even brought a few movies with us just in case we wanted to watch a late night movie. There is one law I made, however, NEVER BRING IT FOR WORKING PURPOSES! You are on vacation and that means all lay and all fun, NO WORK! Hope you enjoy your stay in New York and have a great time.

Right now i do not have a laptop but i will take my laptop when i am on a holiday.I can use the time to earn instead of just sitting bored.I can also play online games to pass time if there is no work.I can be in contact with friends through chatting and email.If there are is a lot of weight in the bags then i will leave back the laptop so that i don't have a burden of weight.

No I wouldn't because I'm on vacation and I want to enjoy each and every minute of it. I don't want the temptation of getting online because it will take up precious vacation time. I went on vacation for 17 days to Puerto Rico and didn't touch a computer for that length of time and I survived. I agree with your husband keep it home and have a wonderful vacation with your husband.

Listen to him. You should just enjoy your holiday. If there is no temptation around, you will concentrate on your holiday. Besides, it's NYC, they must have lots of internet cafes over there should you really need to check on your email. If it were me, I probably won't take it and just enjoy the holiday.

I usually take my laptop with me when going abroad on holiday because that's the cheapest way to contact my friends that live over there, as opposed to using the cell phone for instance. Your husband does have a point however, one could always use a break. Since you're going with your other half, I'll go ahead and say leave it at home :)

It is tempting for you to take your laptop to York. Do you have mobile broadband? You would have to carry your laptop there with you. You might worry that your laptop could be stolen. I prefer to leave my laptop at home when I go off traveling. I miss it though.

To maximize my vacation, I will leave my laptop. I can enjoy the new sorrounding and my husband more if I do that. Bringing my laptop will be a distraction for me, and my hubby, too. Forget the outside world for a while and enjoy your time with your husband. It will just be for 5 days, though.

Sometimes we do and other times we do not as it is great to have some time away from the computer! We run a business from home which has my wife and I online for a lot of time each day, so when we get some time to go away, we like to not go on computers if we can help it! If we just have a short trip we do not take it, but last Chistmas time we were away for a few weeks so we took our lap top just to check in on things from time to time. We have a large online forum that is attached to our business, so that still needs moderating every day or so at least! If we do not go online for a period of time, we do have to play catch up when we get back though, which can be daunting. When I got back from our trip at Christmas time, I had over 2500 emails waiting for me!!! Much of these just got deleted.

hi sblossom.. enjoy your holiday and I think what your hub says is right.. you should leave your com at home, and enjoy these 5 days holiday and not having your com with you. I only had once carry my laptop with me during a holiday, and that's coz I was requested to do so, as we need to have the laptop to do a presentation for a friend's wedding. I find travelling with a laptop is very inconvenient beside boarding planes and so forth, every where you go for visiting, you need to carry it with you just in case. You can't leave the laptop in the hotel room as it's not a safe place there too. With the weight of a laptop, I would rather carry something else than the laptop for holiday.

Hello I understand your husbands point, he wants you all to himself, maybe you should leave the laptop at home and devout all your time to him, this way when you get home you can spend as much time as you want online and not have to hear him in your ear lol 5 days is not long, enjoy your holiday with your hubby if he is asking you to do this, he obviously wants all your attention, why not let him have this, I am sure you will have a good time then come home and make up for lost time. Thank you. Enjoy your time with your hubby.

Hi sblossom! I love taking my laptop on vacations! Especially when I go away for more than two days :) I'm kind of addicted to the internet and being away from it for just a day is already too long for me, lol. Although I agree that one should also enjoy their days when on vacation but sometimes there are just times when you've got nothing to do or when in your hotel, the TV shows are kind of boring or you can't find a good book to read or just simply on the airport waiting for your plane -- that's where laptops and internet come in handy :) Also, it's a good way to chat with your friends/families on your hometown and ask them how they've been while you were away and all that stuff :)

For me, I would not bring along the laptop with me during a holiday. If its really have important thing to do then I believe the hotel also will have the internet services, rite?

I think you should leave your lap-top at home..You are going on holiday (vacation)..It is supposed to be a time of relaxation and enjoying yourself and spending time with your husband..If I was going on vacation I would not take my lap-top..Have fun and enjoy yourself on your holiday,,,,leave your lap-top at home..

That all depends on how you use your laptop. If you are gonna still be doing some work on your holiday you might as well stay home. But that really is something you have to decide for yourself. It also depends on where you're going on the holidays. In my opinion it's really not a big deal you know. You can bring your laptop to the beach and only use it for a little while when you're bored. Then you can still have fun with other things all throughout the holidy. But if you're just gonna be using your laptop the whole time during the holiday. That would be a little funny. Cheers!

I don't use my laptop when I am on holiday, I prefer to leave it at home. When I am at home, I use my laptop every day and I spend a lot of time online, but I don't miss the computer while I am on holiday, because I have so many other things to do. When I am on holiday I love to explore the area where I spend my time, and I would rather walk around in the area than spend my time on the computer. There is one more reason why I don't like to take my laptop - I am worried than I might lose it or damage it.

For me, it depends on the situation. If you've planned this holiday with your partner properly and want to take this chances to strengthen your relationship, then I suggest better not to bring along your laptop. But if you the type that couldn't live without laptop and internet, then you better bring it along.Huhu.Because it really comes in handy when you bring along your laptop while traveling because we never know what might happen and what had happened during our holiday.Thus, with the availability of the Internet this thing is a must for you to bring along.Although, you still can get any connection at your holiday's places right.There might have at least one internet cafe where you can surf and just bring your money along.And that if you're not into the Internet everyday.But if for me, I'll bring along if that place is a safe place to bring and no troubles when I bring it.Hope you can make your own decision.Enjoy your holiday~

Honesty, i support your husband. Firstly, the laptop is so heave that it's not convienet to take on. seconedly, when i come back to hotel to relax, i want to write the feeling about the travel instead of logging on internet. Lastly, in the travel, i want to forget everything, involve in the nature and enjoy my holiday to the fullest.

yes i will. i always bring my laptop with me even if i am on vacation. i can't seem to separate myself from it. i need to check my emails at least once a day. or log on to facebook at least once a day. i need my laptop all the time.
