Technology Free and Loving It

Today is my first touch with technology in over a week.  No television, mostly no cell phone service, no internet and no computers.  After camping for the last week, it's been a pleasure to bury myself in books and activities that don't involve glaring screens in front of me.  Today I'm breaking the trend long enough to let everyone know I'm still alive.  Later, I'm hopping on a ferry and heading to an island for a concert and a few nights of camping in the middle of the Bay of Islands.  The weather forecast looks good and the island campsites are fully booked out - should be a good party.
