The reality of today’s tourism is long waits. The economies in many hotspots live off the tourist dollar, but even their residents are frustrated by having to wend their way through the selfie-taking mobs to buy groceries. Quaint Bar Harbor, Maine, recently had to put limits on cruise ship visits. Some ships were so big, they would disgorge 4,000 passengers into this town of only 5,200 people. As for my plans for future travel, plans, yes, I have them. I plan to not travel. ~ Froma Harrop
