Opinions Needed.

I'm debating whether or not to do an experiment while I'm at the beach at the end of this month. I THINK I'm going to try and give up my BlackBerry for an ENTIRE 5 days. I want to see if my world will come crashing down around me if I don't call my mom every five minutes to tell her something random, or check Facebook, or text, or BBM. Do you think I should try it?

Obviously, I'll take my phone WITH me, just in case something happens, but my goal is to keep it turned off from the moment we step into our hotel until the moment we get home (yes, that means no phone on the 8+ hours home while Felix is driving. That is going to be KILLER). I honestly don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I'm going to try.

This is where I need your opinion:
I'm trying to decide whether or not I should also give up the internet (no facebook, hotmail, etc.). HOWEVER, because of my weird dedication to getting through this "blogging every day for a year" experiment, I HAVE to take my laptop. I have every intention of writing a blog post every day while I'm down there, even though it will probably just be a picture every day. I guess what I'm asking, do you think I'd be able to take my laptop for blogging purposes, and actually stay away from everything else? Is it worth the sacrifice just to see if I can do it?

I'm so friggin' dependent on technology, it's ridiculous. I want to see if I'll actually DIE if I don't check my email and facebook 83974383 times a day. I'm not much of a phone chatter, but texting? I do it a gazillion times a day. Do I really need to do that while I'm at the beach, or should I just sit back and relax and enjoy my first real vacation in YEARS.

Opinions, please!!!!!
