Business travel can be hard on a dad (or any parent) and being away from your kids can add stress to an already hectic travel schedule.  That said, traveling dads who are also closet geeks often find ways to leverage technology to keep in touch with the kids at home.  Thanks to the kismet of Twitter (“Twismet”), fellow Dad-O-Matic dad Chris Brogan and I discovered we were both in San Francisco earlier this week to speak at the same conference (DMA2010).  We were able to get together to make a short video and share some of the ways we handle our kids when we are on the road.

How do you stay in touch with your kids when you travel? Please add your suggestions and tips in the comments.
