94. Spend 48 consecutive hours offline.
It is difficult to escape social media in today's society. I have moments where it is difficult to resist the urge to check my phone. There is always something to check: texts, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and fantasy football scores. (There will be a post about fantasy football once the season ends.)
Recently, my family took a four-day cruise to California and Mexico. By the time we left the coast, I lost cell reception and was only able to use my phone's camera for two full days.
In a way, escaping this form of technology was freeing. I didn't have to check Facebook updates, check work emails, and debate about what photos to post on Instagram. Instead, I was able to spend quality time with my family. I was also able to fit in some quality reading time.
Will I go offline again? Probably, but I doubt that I will be able to stay away from my phone for another 48 consecutive hours. Thankfully, my vacation forced me to do it this time, and for that, I am grateful.
