TBL Project Tip #2-

Work smarter, not harder! Make a google map that incorporates all of the travel "to dos" on your bucket list. Put in a pin for each destination, write a couple of sentences explaining why you want to travel there, and add a pic of a specific thing you'd like to see. Once you've created your map, cut and paste the URL into a blog post. Example Maps- http://goo.gl/ahXd1 http://g.co/maps/ra...
