A variation on the theme - take a shot of a sign with the name of the town you 
are in!

In 2007 we were in Italy, first in Venice, then in the country for a week. One 
day-trip from our B&B was a drive around Lago di Garda, a resort destination of 
vacationers from Rome back in the days of the Roman Empire. We stopped in 
several small fishing villages around the lake. I took many shots of colorful 
fishing boats and their reflections in the harbors. Now going on 12 years later 
it is still a point of frustration that I cannot say for sure which shots were 
of which harbors in which villages! The exif shows the time of each shot, I 
know more or less where we were when, but several of these villages were a very 
short drive apart and I will never know for sure. 

In recent years the improved tools have helped. First Garmin, then O-GPS1, then 
embedded GPS in the camera itself (which I always leave turned on.) And Meg has 
taken to doing extensive day by day travel logs throughout our trips. But 
unless I take another trip to Lago di Garda, I will never know about those 
fishing villages…
