There are a few, but you have to look for them. I love my cheapie ancient flip phone! Unless I can't use my old one or one like it anymore, I do not want a touch phone.

And this way we take 3 or 4 short trips in a summer rather than one long one. I love it.

My hubby and I work together every day, so we are so lucky to have more time than most. But even then, when we camp we are not even working, so it is just one on one and it is fantastic. I hope you guys get out camping soon too!

My husband and I have been camping twice and hiking many times, and there really is something about being outside that opens up deeper communication. (And we have cheap phones too, which I think is nice, because it forces you to unplug from everyday distractions and stresses every now and again.)

When you are camping these distractions disappear and that give you the time and opportunity to reconnect with your spouse. My wife and I have not been camping in a long time. I remember some of the best talks we had though were around a campfire. My wife and I need to go camping again sometime.
