Visiting London and Milan, March 2012

I just returned from a trip to London and Milan with my partner. We had an amazing time (it's pretty hard not to in these world-class cities).

What struck me, though, about this trip was how connected we were with people not only back home but in other parts of the world as we traveled and posted our pics and locations on Facebook. I don't know that there has ever been a time in history when we could interact so immediately with people and share our experiences. For example, we went to the top of Milan's Duomo and, within minutes, we could share that exhilarating and awesome experience with so many other people. It's truly amazing. Social networking may get a bad rap in some quarters, but I truly saw it this time as a very unifying force.
