Disconnected in Jamaica - One View

[MissBlue]

as a solo traveler, having a means of communication provides me with security - if i was without that, i'd feel a way about being alone out in the world with no support system. then again i'm not typically compelled to constantly go online or check e-mail, etc. I'm not like that in the first place. my POV is that technology serves ME, at my convenience - so there's not really any big stress factor associated with it, that i must 'escape' from. Whether i totally disconnect or not, it doesn't really make a difference in my peace of mind. in fact it gives me more peace of mind knowing it's there if needed, while traveling alone all over the world.

having a local Digicel makes it much easier to connect with friends, make arrangements and reservations, call drivers, etc. (not like the old days when you'd spend half a day gettin up to someone's yard only to find them not home.... and have to try it all over again next day, never know who and who was where, constantly keep missing one anedda.... now THAT is a flickin annoyance) -

so i welcome the technology, for me it's a fabulous convenience that makes my movements around the island much easier, and therefore more relaxing....
