When we received an invitation to attend a friend's wedding in Hawaii, my husband and I couldn't think of a better way to spend our summer vacation. I started my research and quickly realized what a hassle it can be to make travel plans. When you're traveling with kids, spontaneity is not really on the top of your list; you want to plan as much as possible ahead of time. So I started searching on Google Maps, found a hotel close to the beach, and even had the chance to scope out some family-friendly restaurants. I also discovered some interesting travel My Maps that others had created to share stories, photos, and videos from their own trips.
To make travel planning easier for everyone, we have put together some simple travel tips for you at http://maps.google.com/tripplanning including a "how to" video tutorial.
And if you're still trying to find that perfect vacation spot, you can explore photos, videos, and popular searches about a particular place on Google Maps, or turn on the Panoramio photo layer to see what destination catches your eye. Bon voyage!
