Electronics and Travel

For people who regularly travel with their laptop for business I have nothing new to offer.  But for folks who are going on vacation, or going to a music festival, or journeying to see one or more family members, I have our experiences that may shed light on your planning.  


The first issue is this:  electronic devices or no electronic devices?

Traveling light is very pleasant.  With no electronics you don't carry extra weight, are free from worries about theft or damage, and can commit to spending quality time in relationships.  Amazing as it sounds, you could even choose to leave your phone at home.  Or not.  

The phone is the electronic device most people carry.  In addition to being able to call 911 in an emergency, they can let family know where they are.  Have you considered taking a "throw-away" for a trip that just does phone stuff so that you can give your number to one or two family members and leave the "work" calls home with your usual smartphone?  Without your 'usual' phone you might enjoy the music, savor the scenery and listen to the friend with an intensity you have forgotten you once enjoyed.

Think about it.  Leave a comment and share your thinking.
