Vacation Planned

OMG, this has been such a busy week already! I haven’t even been on my home computer since Sunday morning. I realize it’s only Tuesday, but that’s a record for me. I’ve haven’t had any time to read blogs and the rest of the week is shaping up to be just as hectic, so I won’t have a chance to catch up until the weekend.

I did take time, however, to book our hotel for our upcoming Indianapolis visit. I’ve also worked out what we’d like to do while there, including what restaurants we must try. I’m most looking forward to visiting the zoo, of course.

Can I just say how much I love Indy’s tourism site? It has got to be one of the best I’ve seen. Chicago should really take notice. Not only is the information categorized well, you can search by keyword and get relevant results. For the restaurants it gives you an idea of the menu prices which is helpful.

My favorite part is that each attraction (hotels and restaurants too) has a “Map Item” option. Once you’ve mapped all the places you’re interested in, you can view the map and print it. Everything is plotted on the map and numbered, and underneath the map is a legend with full descriptions and website addresses of the places you’ve chosen. Awesome! I totally geek out on stuff like that. I’m really looking forward to our little getaway.

But now it’s time to go to bed.
