"Monotonous travel days occasion free thinking — like lingering unhurried hours in a steamy shower, the warm fog erasing worries. It empties my mind and clears my head, letting ideas flow. Without this every month or so, I find myself increasingly boxed in."

On notoriously busy holiday travel days, I often* find that secondary highways (e.g. the older US Highways since bypassed by an Interstate Highway) are less crowded than the well known (and often parallel) highways with a higher speed.

(Your mileage may vary.)

Don't you hate it when Google Maps tells you to take a different route than the way you remember?

It's a nomad's treat to accomplish extra much by the simple virtue of staying in one place for several weeks in a row.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain.

The best thing about traveling in summer is needing only to pack for two kinds of weather:

hot or very hot.

My recently retired smartphone + a data-only SIM card makes a very good mobile hotspot.

Typing this on my laptop (which has no cellular functionality), sitting in my car in a random parking lot where there's good LTE mobile service.

an elaborate plan + a lighter load = slower departure

It's around the third change of itinerary when I'm generally glad to have packed "all this stuff I don't need".

Google has just added a simple #WorldClock function to the basic #Clock app included in #Android — belatedly anticipating my needs.

I have found no satisfying explanation for the origin of the phrase "out of pocket" where it means "away and/or unavailable".

If you travel with a new 12" or 13" MacBook/Pro plus a smartphone, this can save you some space, money and bother:
