My boss thinks nothing of texting work questions or emailing work issues or even asking someone on vacation to log in remotely to fix something. I was THRILLED to have no connection. It allowed me to say to them, "Sorry, I'm off the grid and you'll just have to figure it out." I did do the occasional quick check when we got into range for some runs, but it was like twice the whole time. Once in Pigeon Forge and once at Bridal Veil Falls (had a really good connection there). Ali
I didn't tell ya'll this but the funniest thing happened to me on the way back. I left about 6am Sunday morning. After coming off of route 28, I hit a loong straigt away. I opened Oscar up well into 130-140 range. As I ran 3-4 miles at those speeds, I must have come into cellular range. All of a sudden, I got like 20 text messages at once... like someone said, the damn phone lit up like a slot machine in Vegas. The last message was from a friend that was being funny and sent me this message and I quote "Orange mini spotted by helicopter patrol travelling speeds well in excess of triple digits" You should have seen me lock up the brakes... I thought a damn helicopter was following me and it was on the news... I mean, seriously, how the hell would he know that??? Guess it was my overactive imagination but it was fun while it lasted....

lol, I have the same problem! Always being called to work even when I am on vacation. It really was nice to say "you can't call, email, or text. You will have to figure it out on you own!"
YES!! I had such glee at the team meeting when I broke the news. Sorry guys, you know how I love to be there for you all, but there's nothing I can do BWA HA HA HA HA
Educated guess?!? It was nice being unplugged awhile. I didnt even check at the hotel last night (where I am guessing we would have had coverage). I have officially been *back* from vacation for 3.5 hours...it sucks!
