Traveling is not the same in the age of the internet. It’s way better. We’re going to Hawai’i in February. I’ve handled all of our arrangements over the internet, including dinner reservations on February 14th at Mama’s Fish House on Maui. My 61st birthday.
Mark Odegard, living in Shanghai, e-mailed me today and recommended a place to stay on Kauai, the Fish Shack, right on the ocean. Just e-mailed them to see if it’s available for the time I’ll be on Kauai by myself.
Now travelers abroad are not cutoff from their support networks or from ways of gaining information about the cities and countries through which they travel. Both are as close as the nearest internet cafe or wireless connection if you have your own laptop along.
Likewise, I’m in frequent contact with my sister in Singapore and my brother in Pnomh Penh. By e-mail. Also, any travel with an interest in my life can read this blog and find out a little bit about me and Minnesota.
Off to the magical mythical tour. Another form of travel.
