We’re all guilty of it (myself included…too often). We hit the road and try to stay as connected to email, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc as we are at home. To what end? We should be immersing ourselves in new places. Interacting with friends and strangers alike.

Sure, it’s lovely to touch base with the folks back home and share glimpses of our travel experiences along the way. But why do we feel so compelled to be fully plugged in every step of the way? I’m going to follow my own advice from now on and enjoy my travels in the moment and worry about sharing things once I get home.
