It generally takes up very little space in your suitcase and opens up a world of possibilities. For international travel, it helps reset my body clock, familiarizes me with my neighborhood and often represents my only real sight seeing unless you include the inside of conference rooms and university auditoriums. For domestic travel, it clears the mind, digests the calories, and often represents the only alone time in visits devoted to family and holidays.
