Christopher Elliott is concerned that when people are on vacation they pay to much attention to their lives back home and they aren't connecting enough to the things aroung them. I agree with that completely, especially when he writes about kids paying attention to movies or games while they're somewhere beautiful, "'Look at the mountains! Look at the cows!' Kids: 'Uh-huh.'”
For our trip to Australia I think that communication devices, music, and electronic games, should only be used after we are all in our rooms at night. I think that cameras should be used anywhere and everywhere they're allowed because I always want to remember the trip and pictures and journals will help that.
