Google's New Travel Planner Will Make Your Life So Much Easier
It’ll help you GTFO …fast.
So I've been planning a trip to Nicaragua because, hello...
Monkeys, beaches, surfing, and historic architecture? Yeah, sign me up.
Here's a screenshot of the actual madness required to put together my itinerary.
First, there's the mountain of research required to determine which cities and excursions suit your interests.
Next, for flights, there's the travel duration, layover time, and, above all, price to consider.
Finally, there's the excess of choice for lodging: hostel, hotel, or Airbnb? What's the neighborhood like? What kind of amenities are available?

Well, Google recently introduced a new feature called "Destinations" that claims to make the entire research and booking process much easier – and you can do it all from your phone and only your phone.
Obviously, I was VERY intrigued, so I tried it for my Nicaragua trip. Destinations is only available through the Google Search app for iOS and Android.
