I love the phone-free getaways/vacations. When we grew up, or when still in our 20s, we traveled happily, safely, and uncomplicatedly without a phone. Of course, the smartphone is a tremendous help in today's travel world.
But once settled down, we forget how to enjoy where we are, how to interact with others, how to be with ourselves, and how to absorb the wonder and awe around us.
It's weird and great at the same time that such options of wifi-free vacationing become a thing. It should be normal. We might get back to some "normal".
Sounds like bliss. Plus this must mean lower accommodation prices as the hoteliers won't have to splash the cash getting their spaces WiFi connected. That is right...isn't it?

Smartphones are very much a double-edged sword. Can be hugely helpful but when always on they get in the way, big time.
I feel like we may be hitting a tipping point where we are finally waking up to the need to use our gadgets more judiciously....
