- Figure out a reasonable amount of events/sites to both visit about and blog about as you go (recommend using Google Earth for trip planning - might think about drawing the kids into this as well)
- Be "wifi" and electric outlet aware (comes naturally with kids that have been brought up with a cell phone as their teddy bear) - lots of the spots in Boston were supposed to have public wifi, but we ended up ducking into coffee places/cafes (or scamming their wifi) from time to time
- You can blog/post to Blogspot from a cell phone
- Cell phone also are great for grabbing pics
- Blog as you go - makes for a nice rhythm some time for recap/refection on what you just saw with your child/student
- Save a reasonable amount of time at the end of the day for putting things in order - remember one of the wonderful things about the digital world is it's editing capabilities
- Let the kids blog their own way
- Create some other web tools to help orient folks to what they are hearing about - pics (Picasa web albums), videos (YouTube), and maps (Google Maps) are just a few suggestions - use the blog as an excuse to learn more about these tools, maybe learn from the young ones
- Walk whenever possible (personal preference) - clears the head and is good for burning off all the calories from Starbucks pitstops for wifi.
- Have fun
Got to run .... I mean walk.
