I have decided to use my facts and research about Australia to create a travel brochure. When I sat down and read over my information, I thought what better way to present this trip idea to my husband? He is the type that gets daunted by travel books, and irritated about sifting through vast amounts of travel sites online. If I could provide some basic information, he may be more willing to check out other resources.
I used Microsoft Publisher to create my brochure. I was able to include all of my questions, in a question answer format. I also was able to list some of the top beaches, as kind of an advertisement! During the weaving process, I noted that I had come up with some additional thoughts and ideas. In order to satisfy those queries, I created a sample itinerary of particular places that I would like to include on this trip. I was unable to include as many details, as I would like because of space, but if I am sharing this with my husband, I can provide additional information. I think a brochure is an informational way to convey ideas. They typically aren't full of depth by any means, but they do provide basic information which inspires one, (my husband, hopefully) to learn more.
WAVING
The only way that my information on my brochure will be used is either by us, or by a friend who is planning a trip. This became a more personal inquiry, where I researched questions that pertain to us and ways we like to travel. I wouldn't mind sharing any of my information with a friend. But, I don't think the format I chose to share my information is conducive to sharing on the web, or publishing for others.
My Musings....
Intially I didnt want to narrow this topic down, because I was unsure of what direction I wanted to go in. Now, I could potentially narrow the topic down to just my itinerary and research information about that.

As I go back and look at my process, I think that this was the point when the inquiry project finally took hold. If I was follwing Kuhltau's ISP I think that the feelings associated at this point would be much like her "Forming Focus" stage. I felt, much like Kuhltau described with optimism, and confidence, and finally felt as if a focus had been formulated even though the project was almost complete!
