MIDWEEK MUSINGS centers on how different our worlds have become traveling with technology. ..
Our cell phones get a workout regarding info about upcoming travel with departure/arrival dates/times and check-in reminders with assigned seats, luggage and other amenities.
Then, we are notified as to our plane and gate status. Once boarded we receive a text to reassure us our luggage has been loaded. Whenever did we think our bags would not be joining us en route to wherever? We knew they could get lost, but I guess now we will know when it happened.
Whether taking a train, tram/bus all of those schedules and maps are online and we can even purchase many tickets beforehand.
Mapquest can tell us distance and get us to where we need to go whether by foot, bus, tram/ car. GPS /an app can even show us when we are heading in the wrong direction.
All this is great but I don't know about you but I'd also like a hard copy map for the times reception is sketchy/ the once-charged phone is out of juice from working so hard.
*An addendum
I received these directions:
"Let's meet at the duomo behind the baptistery opposite of the paradise door. "
Guess I'll be lost in Paradise...
