As you all know, I’m currently on a jet plane making my way to my vacation locale.
Normally when I get to my vacation destination I ask the hotel for a map and also ask what are the best things to see in the city I’m in. I then chart my course for the day.
Often I’m spot on, other time I’m walking around in circles or end up missing big site because I didn’t plan a good route to see attractions appropriately.
For example, the stupid little boy pee’ing statue in Belgium. I got lost in Brussels, really lost. Took me two hours to find an easily found status the size of ginger jar of a little boy peeing. If I had only had an iPhone and a self guided walking tour to follow, I would have been able to throw back chocolate and wash it down with beer for two whole extra hours.
