Nervous..no, anxious about first long trip

With modern electronics and communications, cell phones and laptops can be the next best thing to being there. Thanks to streaming video, we recently got our first look at our brand new great granddaughter just minutes after she was born while we were still a couple of hours away from arriving there. We stay in touch with our two daughters, our grandkids, and several friends via cell calls, texting, Facebook, and video conferencing. In the winter, we keep track of the temperature in hour upstate NY lakeside cottage with a remote temperature sensor that transmits its signals to the Internet. Our daughters live near by and also check on the place periodically. If you're only going to gone for a month though, just cell calls would likely be enough. We spend around 10 months on the road each year, and even when we're at the cottage, we usually keep right on living in the motorhome.
