But wait, how did I do this, you ask? Well, just by searching "Google Maps Custom Map" I found a great post by bloggers Kevin & Amanda: How to Create a Custom Travel Map with Google Maps {New Google My Maps Tutorial}. No need to reinvent the wheel, they walk you step by step through the process, even showing you how to change the icons and colors of the icons--hence my purple, red, and green stars!
Note: I bring up hours of operation since one of the problems we have encountered on our many trips is dinner times. We are accustomed to eating quite late, so one of the things I've started searching for is restaurants with longer opening hours. STREATART seems to fit our needs for a late night meal on our Thursday night arrival!
