DW says I use a spreadsheet to decide what to have for breakfast... lol
Thanx,
I honestly don't know how people plan anything without spreadsheets. I've even "trained" my wife that if she wants to have a discussion with comparing things, it needs to be in spreadsheet form. She has even admitted that it helps not that I'm sure she would tell anyone else!
Our purchase planning was in spreadsheet form, trip planning, our trip itineraries and all sorts of stuff. For instance, here was our trip planning for a Thanksgiving Trip that didn't happen (sad face):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvEDJnVFaozKdGZMdVJFMGdPNFUxZjNmYXhVRkRHc0E&usp=sharingIt let me compare a few things:
1) To do the "full vision" (Home --> Williamsburg --> NC), how much would it be
2) To do the "full vision" taking both car + truck and leaving the truck/camper behind in Williamsburg (mileage was my killer cost)
3) To do the trip to NC but staying in hotels
4) To do just Williamsburg and skipping NC
And it gave me a travel itinerary with places that I planned on staying, things we wanted to do, etc.
