12 Days to Embarkation

So many places so little time.

Part of the fun of a trip is to learn what we can about each port and then prioritize the activities in which we wish to engage. It used to be that one spent hours pouring over guide books and maps.

My parents and my aunt and uncle enjoy that process as much (okay, maybe only nearly as much) as the trip itself. My memories of waiting for Santa Claus are nearly as sharp as my memories of Christmas morning.

I am hoping to use tools with which I have become more comfortable.  Google Maps; Google Images; Flickr, Picasa, and YouTube geo-cache searches; Wikipedia; and plain old Google search.  As my research progresses, I’ll share both my methods and my results.  Just in case you want to “travel like Tommy.”
