Step 1
One of the quickest ways to communicate, especially on the go, is by telephone. Cell phones are so ubiquitous in this day and age, we can talk to almost anyone at anytime. Frequent phone calls, even brief and on the go, can let loved ones at home know they are a priority. Text and picture messages can keep you close, too.

Step 2
Email is another quick and easy way to reach out from far away. Be sure to ask your kids and spouse a lot of questions about their day. There is nothing that shows how much you care like showing interest in those who love you. You can send pictures, funny stories, and interesting tidbits about the places you visit.

Step 3
While email, phone and text messages are a quick way to keep in touch, a hand-written note is thoughtful and meaningful. Leave special notes where your family will find them when you leave on a trip, or mail letters to your home the day before, so that they will arrive quickly after your departure.

Step 4
Every parent wants to tuck his or her own child in at night, but when you are on travel, it just isn’t possible. Web cams provide the next best thing, with face-to-face goodnights. You can even read your child a bedtime story from thousands of miles away!
