remember using a paper map to plan a route to an address you'd never visited before? and running into a washed out bridge and having to plan a different route on the spot? using a paper guidebook to choose restaurants and hoping the hours hadn't changed?
and asking other travelers for recommendations, carrying a little notebook and pen to keep track of what they'd advised? (and secretly judging the quality of their advice by their appearance & asking their opinion of somewhere you'd already been)
