Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Two friends and myself are planning a trip in May.  We email, and somehow the communication has not been really successful.  We manage to misunderstand each other and clarification is like pulling teeth.  First it was about waiting a week before buying flights.  One of us did it anyway.  Now there is confusion about where we are staying, and how to book it.  We perhaps have put the cart before the horse.  Now that we have flights, the next phase is to break up our stay in the two places, then book a hotel in each.  I'm thinking I need to get out my travel books and talk turkey:  the mileage distances between the airport we're all flying in and out of, the two towns, and when we will all three be getting in a rental car when we arrive to get to the first hotel, and when we need to leave the second hotel to all get to the airport to make are three different flights. 

Okay, so a little research is in order, then we can try this again.  I actually had to call one of the friends to get unconfused, but evidently it was only temporary.  I will laugh at this later, but right now, I feel this planning is getting above my mental acuity capacity.  There are limits to email.  And I've run smack dab into them on this one!
