In a few weeks, I plan to drive my little Prius across the country (starting in North Carolina’s Outer Banks) to visit friends and family in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. In some ways, this will be a recreation of the drive I made in 1987 when I moved from L.A. to New York. Except it’s a round trip. And in a better car. And I’ll have a cell phone. And an iPod. And a laptop with Internet. And I plan to blog and Tweet along the way…
Come to think of it, I really do not miss 1987.
…and if you don’t already have one, you could probably also use a GPS navigator. I no longer rely on wits and map skills. If my Garmin don’t go there…I don’t go there.
You could wear a Members-Only jacket and at least pretend in one way it’s 1987.
