And because I get the question a lot: everything on this trip was planned on our own, from the flights to the hotels and the places we visited. There are a few things on the list which we did not visit, sometimes because we had no time left, sometimes because we decided otherwise, and sometimes because it was planned as a fallback. But all in all we managed to have a nice vacation, we've seen plenty of new places and enjoyed some family time.

Some of the tools we are using to create our own awesome vacation:

• Tripit: Store every detail, address, reservation in one place, details are shared between the three of us.
• Wikipedia: It's helpful to find additional details for almost everything.
• Roadtrippers: Enter the route you are driving, and it will show you additional highlights along the way.
• RoadTripRadar: Another website which shows highlights along your way.
• Geocaching: Rule of thumb - if there is an interesting place, someone already placed a Geocache there. Just go and find it.
