Maps!
I love maps, but this one in particular just brings back fond memories of my summer in London. But by looking at this map, I tried to replace the city names the artist used with the real names of the stops in London. For instance, the stop nearest to my dorm was Kensington, which is where Alexandria is on the map. The map is also missing several stops, but that's not entirely the artists fault. Maps are great because they can help you recall previous vacations, but they also can inspire new vacations, trips, and excursions.
Maps can also inspire creativity in other ways. When my family evacuated for Hurricane Rita, we joined a mob of others and were stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 8 hours, plus another 5 hours to our actual destination once we got out of the densest traffic. As a result, on the way back, anytime my dad thought he saw traffic ahead, he had me get out our Texas State Road Map and plot a new route home. It required me to think outside the box, while still thinking inside the map.
