I agree! Love being disconnected from the internet while on vacation! We do bring the iPad though for the kids, as it helps occupy them on the flights , as well as comes in handy when we are waiting for our meals at the restaurants.
Since we limit screen time at home, it's always a special treat for them to watch something on the iPad, and it really holds their attention!

I do want to get a couple phones for our November reach, as there will be 6 of us and we will not always be spending the full day together, so it will be nice to be able to meet up or whatever.

I brought my ipad down, and I rented 2 movies for it. 1 for the fight down. 1 for the flight back. I also got 2 books for it. I didn't end up reading them.

It was awesome to be totally free and disconnected from "life". I think that's what vacation is all about.
