I take a lot of trips. I have one soon to Boston, and another to Atlanta. If Evernote had folders, I'd create a Trips folder and fill it with 2 notebooks, one for each trip. If Evernote had sub-notebooks I'd create a Trip notebook, and have a notebook for each trip inside it.
But Evernote has neither one of these features. So I'm stuck with a Trips notebook, and files (hotel confirmation email, map, restaurants, etc) from both trips dumped inside it. If, for example, I'd like a quick way of looking ONLY at the Boston trip, I don't see a good way to accomplish this. The only 3 options I see are:
1. Forget the Trip notebook and just keep a flat notebook list. So I'd simply have Atlanta and Boston notebooks separate along with my other notebooks (research, recipes, etc.). Sounds messy, and I'd have a very long list.
2. Create a tag called "atlantatrip" and apply it to every file for that trip. But I fail to see going this way a point in creating a notebook specifically for trips. And I'd have to manually delete the tag after the trip is over and deleted.
3. Create a single file called Atlanta, put everything in/on that file, and throw it in the Trip notebook. Doesn't sound fun.
None of these solutions seem that great. They seem kind of messy.
I've read all the sub-notebook threads. It doesn't look like they'll be implemented any time soon, if ever. I've accepted that. So since Evernotes stance seems to be that sub-notebooks/folders aren't needed, I was curious if anyone could show me a work flow that works, perhaps one I haven't thought of; using what Evernote DOES offer. tags and perhaps saved searches?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
