Figured I’d share how I use delicious to plan trips.  Like anyone else, I surf the web and come across interesting places that I want to visit one day.  I save them to my delicious links so they are in one place online that’s independent of which computer I’m on.  No duh, right?

Well, what I do when I am planning a particular trip is to create a tag that is a specific name for that trip.  For example, we’re going to Chicago for Belinda’s wedding in March.  We’re also planning on doing a little bit of travelling after the wedding around Wisconsin.  So, I’ve created a tag called “midwest2009” for all the links I am saving for that trip.

That’s all fine and good, right?  Well, how this really becomes handy is to copy and paste the addresses and phone numbers of the places into each delicious entry.  You can then print out a list of all of the places you’ve bookmarked with the trip tag you chose, with addresses all ready to put in your GPS unit before you leave for your trip!  Ding! 

Happy travels!
