Yes. But if Daddy is “traveling” (I assume it’s business related) then he will call when he gets the time; i.e. back at the hotel. And I also showed them how I can write them letters and send them postcards and how they can save those “conversations” in a memory book that would last forever.

Different eras, I suppose. I don’t walk around with a phone growing out of my ear and if you call me, be ready to state your business in two or three sentences and be done with it, because that’s about all I’m good for on a cell phone.

Cheers... And happy traveling!

Note that the original poster (me) does not own a cell in the US, even in Florida where he spends some time, and has owned one only a few active months over 20 adult years, most of them in the US, and that was direct work necessity. I believe this says a lot about my perception of the utility of a phone in this particular case.

Unfortunately, a confluence of circumstances made access to on-demand comnunication better than all of the alternatives over this 3-day period.
