It's been a fascinating day-and-a-half following family through the Polarsteps app as they race through time zones ever farther and farther away.
I'm not sure what's going on but definitely I'm hooked, fascinated, and completely engaged as their trip advances one step at a time from one destination to the next.
This is definitely like days of old (not even my days of old but older) when reports came from remote locations by runner, by train or boat, by telegram, when even basic news stories had to be serialized. And since my family's both on the adventure and documenting it... their reports from the field are necessarily brief.
Perhaps, as they get into the groove of their adventure, they'll be able to detail the story of their travels even more. 🙂
The app includes a satellite map of the world featuring the current trip's destinations connected by dashed lines or straight lines depending on where along their route they are. On the left, photographs along with the text entries for each destination.
It's not Around the World in Eighty Days...
But it sure feels like it.
