Travel plans
Are you as excited as I am when you think of a place you want to visit? I kid you not, half the fun begins with thinking about where to go, when to go, with whom to go and how long to go for! I can stare at endless itineraries before making a decision to even the place to visit.
Funny story: when researching travel plans, I got to understand that travel plans means something totally different than what I’m making it out to be: “A travel plan is a package of actions designed by a workplace, school or other organisation to encourage safe, healthy and sustainable travel options”. Not exactly what I had in mind: I’m thinking more along the lines of planning your travel aka vacation!
So that got me pondering: how do you decide where to go? Do you often visit the same place or do you wander around the globe? And most importantly, how do you plan such a venture? Also what do you plan? Do you plan only where to go and look for accommodations when you get there? Or do you plan the whole shabam including what you eat when and where?
What we do in my household is plan the trip (usually using Kiwi or Kayak for cheap air travel and we look at Hotwire or Airbnb for deals on hotel. I’m not yet there where I’ll do hostels, couch surfing and the likes, but I’m warming up to the idea of at least looking into hostels as the plan I have for in five years time would require a bit less financial drainage.
I’m looking at going to my favorite city with the kids during the April break – New York City. A city that never sleeps and who knew: a city which also tailors for kiddos! Planning stage has started.. so excitement is through the roof!
