I can take and send photos home at the drop of a hat, keeping my Mum appraised of the safety of her grand-daughters. I can fill my phone with holiday photos then upload them to Flickr to ensure my phone is ready for several hundred more pictures of food, sunshine, rain. I can see a book that we want to buy, check if our bookshop back home has it and then make a decision on purchasing or not. I have also searched for local useful stores.
Even 3 years ago, when we were last on holiday, wifi wasn't as widely available but it was accepted and we just carried on.
Has technology enhanced our holidays? Having got teens trailling around with us (aka non-paying adults) it is a bonus. After all, they can't be out of touch with their friends or they'll be forgotten about, won't they!
My husband sketches each of us while relaxing in the evenings. The common element of the pictures? We are all on electronic devices!
A sign of the times
