I do leave an itinerary behind. So if something important happens, e.g. a
death in the family, I can be reached.


I agree. A vacation is to get away.

BTW if someone did die and they couldn't tell you right away what
would happen? They wouldn't still be dead when you got home?

It's strange the way people treat death as an emergency, like they're
not going to stay dead very long.

For the most part, I'd rather not have a phone with me when I'm
driving. It could still be useful in emergencies (real ones).
