[...] Get On A Plane: Up until this last point, I suggested easy alternatives to traveling within your home range. This may not be of interest to you or even not in your budget but if it’s something you’re looking to do, I think it can always be done. I try to plan at lease 2-4 trips a year that involve me getting on a plane, visiting my favorite people and experiencing new places. Of those 2-4 I try to do one bigger trip that I can look forward to and really indulge. This keeps the wanderlust flowing, mixes it up and most importantly, it’s important to unplug and just get away. [...]

@Meenal Thanks for commenting! No post is ever too old to share your thoughts. You're right, there isn't a substitute for personal interaction and that's the most important thing to remember. Unplugging isn't hard for me anymore, because it feels so much better to have a balance.

I know this post is from months ago, but I saw it under your popular posts and it caught my attention. I just wrote a similar post, actually, and I think you make a great point. We're more and more caught up in our MacBooks, BlackBerrys, etc. I know I, myself, am addicted to email and spend an obscene amount of time on the computer. But there is really no substitute for personal interaction…and that's really the best part of life: being with other people. Just because we can always stay plugged in doesn't mean we should. I agree, being fully involved in the present is important.
