Planning the trip on the Internet

I’ve spent last few days arranging various bits and pieces together for our trip to California. Mostly browsing Google Maps around the hotels and other points of interest.

It is baffling how much information is available on the Internet. All places that I’ve gathered to my maps have photos and reviews. I’ve got feeling that I’ve already been there — this is probably just an illusion that will be shattered when actually being there.

The only problem with the online services is that they are not that easily accessible on the field. I’ve paid special attention to select hotels with free WLAN access — I’m such a cheapskate that I cannot justify myself paying extra $10 per day for WLAN, but I happily pay it when it is baked into the room price.

Thus, the weekend will be spent with printer. Hopefully printing in Google Maps has been improved from the last time.
