Today’s commonly used American expression is “Let’s keep in touch”...which simply means, let us not lose contact with each other. Let’s communicate through some form of correspondence, periodically. E.g.—telephone, fax, e-mail, letter writing, post card, etc.

　　SAMPLE script IC: I’m leaving for Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore tomorrow.M: Really? Are you going alone?C: Yeah Sweetie! Leaving in the morning, and my assistant, Melody, is going with me.
