Hi everyone, this is Lou Adair with Views of Life Photography, sharing this week's travel tip. What I wanted to show is using Google Earth as a place to search for accommodations in addition to the traditional hotel search sites. So I have the whole country here to show you some perspective where we stayed was in the San Juan Islands and that is just off the coast of Washington. They are part of Washington State so we're zeroing in here and here is Seattle to give you some perspective. This is the Olympic National Park and the Olympic Peninsula. Here we see what's called the San Juan straight of San Juan de Fuca and it goes into this little group of islands so we're going to narrow in on that and that straight is important because that is where the Orcas swim in and out to go to the ocean. Alright, so to get to San Juan Island we drove up Interstate 5 over here to the town of Anacortas and that is where you catch the ferry and the ferry itself is just fantastic. Okay, so now we're zeroing in on San Juan Island. The ferry dock is here at the town of Friday Harbor and it really really is a cool little town. Nice quaint shops, restaurants, has a well museum, marinas beautiful, just a really fun place. This is also where most of the accommodations are but you can see the Dalama, the whales, the Orcas are up and down this side and the accommodations are all over here. So I have already entered my search for accommodations on Google Earth. That's why you can see them popping up and it looks a little bit cluttered and what I do is look for every little building to see if there's some place that might show up that's closer to what I am interested in photographing. Here we have Olympic Lights, Bed and Breakfast and I have no vested interest just to let everyone know but see how much closer it is than the other accommodations. So that's how Google Earth helps out in searching for a wonderful place to stay.
