Spain Itinerary
Well I finally have our itinerary for Spain all worked out. You can see it over there to the right. It involves three flights and a night train, but it works.
Now it’s time to start nailing down things like hotels, and a rental car. Can’t believe it’s only three months away. Time to get excited.

Planning on Spain
I’m knee deep in planning our upcoming trip to Spain and finding it all very difficult. This country frustrates all my attempts to plan out a logical route. It doesn’t help that we are flying into and out of Madrid which lies smack in the middle of the country.
The distance between some places makes some travel times prohibitive. I’ve all ready had to make the decision that Santiago de Compostela is just to far away to logically fit in. That does frees up a couple of days for other places though.
Also, my parents are meeting us there for the first week or so, which means I have to coordinate with their schedules as well.
I have never had this much trouble trying to map out a route before. If anybody has any suggestions, please feel free to pass them along.

New York
We’re heading out on a red-eye flight tonight for our trip to New York. I plan to update my twitter account from the road and possibly a photo or two as well. If I get ambitious, I might even do a blog post or two.

Trolley
This is one of my shots from our trip to Yakima. There is an old trolley that is still running as a tourist attraction, but it has a lot of history behind it. And it was a lot of fun.

Google City Tours
Google has come out with a seriously cool new tool called Google City Tours.
You enter a starting address (or even just a city) and it finds points of interest and maps out a three day walking tour. You can add and subtract sites, but can’t seem to change from walking to driving directions. Still I think this has great potential.
Now if they could combine this with the custom maps feature in Google Maps we’d really have something here.
