Dr Doolittle Planning, Web Style

Key West Sunset

We decided on August 4th that we all needed a holiday so I dumped all my air miles and hotel points metaphorically on the desk and we proceeded with web-assisted Dr Dolittle Planning where you stick a pin in a map and go wherever it points. The process has been updated since Dolittle's day and we were able to visit the web sites for all the places we visited in advance. It took three attempts and while we avoided the floating island, we did end up on four others. We visited Manhattan on the way out as it was the only available route, Andros in the Bahamas where we all learned to SCUBA dive at a place called Small Hope Bay Lodge, Key West in Florida and Miami Beach. You can see all the pictures on Flickr. That was my first 100% offline break in I-don't-know-how-long. I survived. Maybe I should do it more often.
