Give it a chance. We’re here to enjoy a slower pace of life, remember? Mohsen: When you said we were going on an island vacation, I didn’t know we’d be so isolated. There isn’t a living soul within five miles! Ella: This isn’t isolated; it’s secluded. We have privacy and serenity. Isn’t that what we wanted? Mohsen: I wanted a vacation with all of the creature comforts. Ella: That’s what we have, don’t you think? We’re staying in a very nice house. Mohsen: Yes, but what about the creature comforts? I have no Internet access and no cell phone service. This is what I call roughing it. Ella: We agreed that we both needed a little time away to unwind. The whole point of this vacation is for us to relax. Mohsen: I’m cut off from civilization and I have no access to email and my favorite websites. What could be more stressful than this?!
