Daisy, somehow I missed you! So sorry! Yes, laptops seem to play some role in most of today's vacations. I guess the trick is deciding ahead of time why you're bringing your laptop, and how much work you will or won't do—drawing some boundaries so vacation can actually be an opportunity to vacate from your usual routines and trappings. (I have taken some photos just for my blog, too—like the two for this post!)
