Since we are here instead of trekking across places off the map, perhaps we can console ourselves with some travel haiku. Remember that the basic rule is 3 lines with 5-7-5 syllables. True geniuses can sometimes dare to break the rules, but I don't know if any of us qualify -- there's plenty of time to find out. Passport in pocket Clouds scuttling across the sky No airplane for me
