Despite my techiness, I am, at heart, an English major.\u00a0 And, after 46 years, I am finally making a trip to the mother land.\u00a0 I’m spending 16 days traveling in England and Wales, and am just a little excited!<\/p>\n
While I will be sending a few analog postcards, I’ll mostly be using online tools to stay connected with home, from posting photos to my flickr<\/a> account and skyping with my husband and other friends and colleagues.\u00a0\u00a0 There may be some twittering, too.<\/p>\n The other 21st century addition to my trip is my Kindle. I have one analog book with me–a biography of Shakespeare<\/a>–and then I’ve got the Kindle. I spent all of 99 cents for the complete poetical works of Wordsworth. I’ll be visiting Dove Cottage<\/a> and wandering through Tintern Abbey.<\/a> I spent just 5 dollars for the complete works of Shakespeare for the Kindle, too. We’ll be spending a day touring Stratford Upon Avon. Normally, books would be a problem for me: which to take along? But with the Kindle I’ve got lots of reading at my fingertips. I’m interested in seeing if the connection works in England.<\/p>\n I’m mostly excited about my Google map:<\/p>\n
