It was a fun experience. I got a few paper guidebooks to prepare. Before I left, I set up a Siri Shortcut to automatically respond to texts on my behalf. All texts would receive the message: Hey I'm away from my phone and on vacation until 9/19. I'll reply to your message when I return. For urgent matters, respond BREAKTHROUGH.
