Oops! I left my social network in America.

In all the many things I remembered to put in my suitcase, I completely forgot one thing - my social network. OK- maybe that doesn't fit in a suitcase, but still --- I forgot to bring the technology to stay connected with loved ones and friends. We were missing out on an experience we could have shared!

There is definitely value in staying connected on your trip. Bringing your social network can help keep your friends and family in the loop. They will thank you for it, and youll be glad you did it too.

So whether your trip is 10 days or 3 months, plan ahead and act accordingly.
