I didn't the last time I went on vacation in Europe. My cell phone carrier also is atrocious and charges usurious international roaming charges, so that was a contributing factor, but it's really nice to unplug and go off the grid on vacation. You just have to do things the old fashioned way - print out your reservations and itinerary, get some maps.

I sometimes get temporary SIM's when abroad, for this reason.

I enjoy that, but it's nice to have GPS for emergencies.
