I just spent three nights in Upper Michigan. We have a phone, but get almost no cellular reception. I can get and send text messages, and can sometimes make a phone call on the beach. No internet, but if I let my phone sit on for several hours, sometimes an email will come in.

Anyway. It's pretty liberating. This is my family's cottage, and I am considering just making a 'no contact' rule next time I go. We are social animals, but even social animals need alone time.
