Today’s Quick Tip….
How to quickly find a good ‘half-way’ meeting point
Do you often find it difficult to find an appropriate meeting place in the general vicinity of the half-way point when you’re traveling to meet up with someone.
Well, a fantastic website called Meetways that makes finding the most appropriate halfway meeting place between any two locations an absolute breeze!
Here’s how it works:
1 – Visit the Meetways home page.
2 – Enter your address (or simply your town or city) and the other person’s address (or town or city).
3 – If you want, you can now set a few optional parameters that can help determine the route you’ll take along with the type of establishment you wish to meet up at (hotel, restaurant, coffee shop, etc.).
4 – Click the Go button.
