I think I need to arrange a retreat for myself--to take some much needed "time away" from the distractions of my life. What I would really like is to find a low-tech cabin or inn somewhere, and to go there without any of my technological distractions--no phone, no computer (the temptation of searching out wi-fi would be too great), no i-Pod. Just me, my books, perhaps a knitting project, pens, and notebooks, plus a draft of my current dissertation chapter in hard copy.
If I were to do this, the place would need to be quiet, secluded, and cheap, preferably cheap enough for me to stay there for 4-5 nights. I can't afford a lot, but I think I can afford something, particularly if it's bus- or train-able from home. Oh, and it would need to be available during my spring break, which starts March 23rd (or when I get my grades done, which could be earlier). Classes start up again on March 30th. So that's my time frame.
Suggestions? I'm all ears. I need me some serenity, man.
