going mobile-less

Well it's official - I just got off the phone with Verizon and they have very nicely agreed to suspend my cell phone service for the duration of my stay overseas. For the first time since pre-junior year of high school I will be cell phone-less! Starting May 14th I will not have cell phone service until I am back in the States on July 30th. There is a chance I'll invest in one in Europe, but more as an emergency-only thing rather than something I plan on using daily. Though I won't be abandoning technology completely, I think this will be a good thing in that I'll be forced to rely less on a phone and more on my own intelligence to navigate places and other methods to keep in touch with people. Meaning, I'll be communicating with you all via this blog, gmail video chat, and emails. No more texting!
