Don't limit your trips to literature trips - they will work across the curriculum!
 * __Susan's Tips for Building a Google Lit Trip__**:
 * 1) Remember the KISS principle!
 * 2) Use the GLT collection templates to organize your work.
 * 3) Be patient. It takes time to build the trip and you will make frequent use of "DELETE"
 * 4) Save often and in more than one location.
 * 5) Use a placemark icon that goes along with your text or theme (pushpins are boring!).
