Rental car companies provided maps in the car. They don't anymore as people have their own tools.

I'd actually be at the airport before learning my flight was delayed or cancelled (huge waste of time).

I eat a chain restaurants or pick a place never knowing if I might be next door to a really great local restaurant.

I'd carry a separate device for music while running or do without.

I'd also return to the office and face 100 unread emails.

It wasn't impossible to travel back then, but it's a hell of a lot easier now.
