My New Travel Assistant is an Algorithm (& it’s Judgier than my Husband ever was)
Back in the day—when my husband and I were traveling regularly, usually once a year to Austria to visit his parents (and later, just his dad), plus assorted shorter and longer jaunts—I had a system. Actually, correction: H had a system. I had . . . vibes. H always had a “go bag.” His was […]
