Stopping solo travel due to age?

[goofyernmost]

My daughter shared her Life360 app with me a couple years ago. We both keep track of each other while on the road and after. Initially she wanted me to have that in the event that she couldn't reach me by text or call and she could see where my phone was located. If I was home and not responding she would know to physically check, but both of us use it when each other are traveling. A little over a year ago both of us made a trip back to Vermont. (Different times) and they could track me and I could track them in real time all the way, over a thousand miles, and knew when we had reached our destinations.

It is comforting to know both where they are and conversely for them to know where I am.

I quoted myself to give an update. A week or so ago, my daughter and her husband celebrated their 25th Anniversary by taking a trip to Hawaii. I was able to know, in real time, every place they went, including a mall. I saw when they were touring the Pearl Harbor memorial as well as when they were on a cruise touring all the islands. The thing that made me smile and at the same time made me gobsmacked was when they were actually sailing on the cruise ship the indicator announced that she was on a "boat" and the circular indictor was moving up and down like it was simulating a boats movement on the water. Technology has some good points and also some of concern. The only time that app. wasn't available was when they were on a plane and their phones were on Airplane Mode.
