Post 1 - What to study and how to do it?

When approaching the idea of doing a little research into a topic I am interested in, my brain immediately goes to wedding stuff. Of course, in all honesty, since I'm trying to pull together my wedding for this fall, everything makes my brain immediately go to wedding stuff. However, it actually makes sense in this instance, because planning a wedding isn't one contained thing. Rather, it is a long list of activities, topics, and decisions that most people, myself included, have no real knowledge of. So for this project I'm going to be looking into taking a trip to Boston, where we are thinking of going for our honeymoon.

For this task I will be using Ian Jukes' 5 A's
  • Asking - key questions to be answered
  • Accessing - relevant information
  • Analyzing - the acquired information
  • Applying - connect the information to a task
  • Assessing - the end result and the process.
To start with A-1 -- Asking: What questions am I asking here? What do I want to know? The following are some of the main questions I have to start with. I imagine as I begin to do research I will discover more detailed questions.
  • How can you get to Boston from Indianapolis?
  • Where is there to stay?
  • What is there to do?
  • What kind of restaurants does Boston have?
