I suppose you could have. Personally I wouldn’t check on the world back home at all, except to send the occasion postcard (or email when that became possible).

I suppose you could have. Personally I wouldn’t check on the world back home at all, except to send the occasion postcard (or email when that became possible). I’d learn about it all after getting home. Or sometimes not. I remember there being big movies that had come and gone while I was away that I only learned about years later. It’s hard to imagine, watching the current crop spending every evening on their phones instead of talking to other travelers.
