OMgoodness do I need to go somewhere for a week and not talk much.
My phone, books, and laptop, and I am good to go.
Throw in a few good restaurants too, and I would be in paradise.
For a week we lay in hammocks and fished desultorily and went to bed early and got very brown and lazy. My husband caught eight sharks, and I read an oceanography textbook, and we did not talk much. At the end of the week we wanted to do something, but all there was to do was visit the tracking station for an old space program or go see John Wayne and Claudia Cardinale in Circus World, and we knew it was time to go home.
-Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
