I chose to explore the website http://plnnr.com/ This website is used for travel and allows a person to choose a destination and then the interface creates an itinerary for you.
When you enter the site you are prompted to choose a place for travel, I chose Berlin Germany because I was born there and have always wanted to go back and visit. Next you must choose the dates for your trip I chose the October 11-15, our fall break, as if I was actually going to go there...I WISH! Then you must select a theme, the options are "with kids," "outdoors," "culture," or what the site describes is the number 1 and most popular choice "the best of." I chose the best of since it has been so frequently chosen among other users. Next I chose the level of intensity I wished my trip to be, ranging from light to extreme. If my mom was using this website she definitely would have chosen light because she always says a vacation is for rest and relaxation. I, however chose extreme because if I ever got the chance to visit Germany I would want to see EVERYTHING! After I clicked on the "extreme" button I was asked to select how many stars I wanted my hotel to be, because this trip is pure fantasy I chose 5. I did really like this option to choose the luxury level of your hotel though because had I been really planning a trip I'd like to have this control.
Lastly I was taken to this page.....

I really liked this interactive website and only have one major complaint. I wish there were more options to choose from so that I could better personalize my trip. I definitely think this is the kind of website that could be used in a geography classroom in an effort to better understand/visualize the many countries of the world.
