Vacationing with the iPhone proves great, but also makes it harder to vacation

I have also found the iPhone to be my new best tool when vacationing or traveling on business. All the things you mentioned about finding restaurants, directions and such are spot on... the iPhone makes this sooo easy. I cant tell you how many times I would search for something like "Italian" with a city name and it would pop-up all the restaurants in the area. Show me how far they are and I could call ahead with one touch of the finger for reservations. Most of the time, I could even find reviews of the restaurants without much trouble. Very sweet! As for the email thing... I did find an answer to that. I would set up an out of office email on my server before I left and if on vacation... I would either never touch the Mail icon or just turn off that mail profile by adding some symbols to the front of my account log-on that way it can't connect to my work email. Simple and painless.

"do to"? I think you meant "due to"

Is it too much effort to read your article one last time before posting it. There are several typos that need fixing.
Honestly, if you are going to write an article, check it twice before you post it!

Heck, when I am on vacation, I just sync my iPhone setting the email accts to exclude the work email acct. I also forward my office phone to my iPhone when I'm out so NO ONE knows my iPhone's number.

On a recent long weekend to Hawaii, my friends and I discovered and confirmed the utility of the iPhone features on the road. So much so, we didn't even bring our laptops, which is a big deal for some of us. psp game downloads
