Infinity Pool e Localização Deslumbrante, Acomoda 10 a 12

You have 2 or 3 beautiful kids and juggle a very busy life. You run from place to place keeping your family super active. Baseball, soccer, swimming, chess club etc. You try to control how much iPad, iPhone and general "screen" time your kids intake daily.

You get your "micro-news" binge 3 times a day from Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc. You sometimes feels like family time has been taken over by Netflix series, emails and texts. Almost everyone you're around has one eye on their "iDevice"

You grew up outside; rode your bike until the street lights came on. You remember your first kiss and didn't tweet about it. You sat at the dinner table with family. It was different, right? Simple. Meaningful. Personal. Yours.

You're a little worried about your kids' future. You question if you're interacting with them enough or teaching them the right lessons to be kind, successful and respectful. You're not alone.

If you're like my wife and me, you're not considering permanent off-the-grid family living, but it does sound nice sometimes.

We decided to explore a change. Our decision to look for something "different" came directly following 3 extended family Thanksgivings, 5 family Christmas' and 2 New Years Eve's parties.

We booked a 6 week extended stay in Yelapa. We missed every winter holiday in the States. Wifi was spotty at best leaving us "disconnected" in this little village.

We didn't know what we'd find on this escape. After a couple weeks of "iDetox", it was clear. The "noise" was nearly gone. Hiking everyday, cooking food as a family, board games, relentless chess matches, so many card games that we made up our own, beach days galore, snorkeling, fishing, hidden beaches, waterfalls, new experiences, new friends... We were more connected with each other, ourselves and our environment than ever before.

Honestly, it wasn't easy, but it was worth it. Of course, we're back now and we have our "iTronics" nearby. But, we're different. We now know how to Reconnect!
