The Bare Minimum of Planning

I know, a lot of you like to “wing it” on your travels -- float where your desire of the moment takes you and to heck with the details. And that’s fine, if that’s the sort of holiday you’re after. But if you want to get the most out of your trip, you have to take at least a few minutes to figure out what you’re after.

First of all, why are you taking this holiday? For rest and relaxation? To get a new cultural insight? To hit all the best night spots? The answer makes a huge difference as to how you’ll spend your time. I’ve seen way too many people hit their holidays with no idea as to why they’re going, and they wind up with a less-than-satisfying experience.

This is true right down to where you’re going. If your main goal is R&R, you might have a fun time in Las Vegas, but you’d probably be better off finding a nice, relaxing beach somewhere. The reverse is true if you’re looking for night life.

Honestly, it’s not even that much work!

1. Decide WHY you’re going on holiday
2. Find a place that matches your holiday goals
3. Book it!

Now, was that so hard?
