I agree with Bill. I'd only be open for something if there was the idea of trying something else for awhile just to see if I'd like it better. For instance, perhaps going on a cruise or living in a cabin for a week, etc. If I went to another country (say Netherlands or Egypt!!), I'd feel dumb just playing games all the time instead of seeing the country. Otherwise, though, I'm happy to game.
It's funny that you mention a cruise. I went on a Carnival cruise a year or two back. It left from New York and went to a few islands, including Puerto Rico before returning. Needless to say, in less than a week I felt tortured, trapped and bored. I was even tired of the food. If you ever do do a cruise, I recommend you do one where the activities - especially eating - aren't scheduled. You'd probably enjoy it more. In any case, I never want to cruise again. Been there, done that, didn't like it. Even a really good one I don't think I'd care for too much.
The only interesting part was that Doug Flutie was on board with his family and a small entourage. I was in the gym at the same time as him. This was a few weeks before he announced his retirement. Otherwise, not much interesting going on there and I certainly didn't like being cut off from the outside world (a la, no Internet - you could pay a fortune for satellite Internet).
So I guess going back to the original topic, I certainly couldn't give up the Internet for a year, as even a week or so was too much time away!
