Getting away

Hallelujah for John Putman’s letter “Cutting All Ties, Temporarily” (Nov. ’09, pg. 52)! Finally, someone agrees with me.

I read all the articles and letters telling us how to stay “connected” when traveling abroad and I shake my head in disbelief. I’ve never felt the need to contact anyone at home, though I do leave my itinerary in case of an emergency.

I’m traveling for new adventures and experiences and, as Mr. Putman wrote, “I’m going to be too busy enjoying my trip. Don’t call me. I’ll call you!”
