Forward planning

March 31st, 2007 Posted in Mundane musings

I’ve not mentioned my forthcoming holiday for a while.

You know the one - the fabulous Toronto - East Broad Top - Portland, ME - Toronto roadtrip with CC in August/September.

Well, I’ve started planning.

First stop was Google Maps and I notice a caveat on their use for route planning:

These directions are for planning purposes only. You may find that construction projects, traffic, or other events may cause road conditions to differ from the map results.

I can see why they need a caveat and to illustrate my point, I offer you an excerpt from its route plan for my initial journey from bootiful Norfolk to Ontario:

There’s something there which strikes me as a little odd. Oh, yes. Step 25.

I’m not convinced that you can actually drive from the Eastern Service Road in Dover to either Boulogne or Boulougne. Then again, why would Google lie to me?

We continue across northern France as far as Le Havre.

hmmmm

I’m going to have to get back into - and extend - my morning pool regime.
