Modern travel is a most wonderful thing, in spite of layovers and security lines. Even though I often travel it never ceases to amaze me that I can have an early breakfast in Trinidad with my client, lunch in Miami, supper in Dallas, and get home to little old Yarrow, British Columbia in time to get a good night's sleep. On my trip I can access and work on my files, blog and write an article for a magazine. I can receive picture updates from those still working in the shop and provide input as necessary as well. I can share texts and phone calls with those I love. As needed I can answer emails to clients. On the plane I can watch movies on my iPad to help pass the time between naps.

As a kid growing up these all were only imagined things - stuff of fiction. I have no doubt that the technology and capabilities will quickly get better in coming years. I can hardly wait!
