Welcome to Planning Your Travels. Once you have made the decision to go on your trip, the fun begins PlanningYour Travels!
Lots of time goes into planning, but the more I read and research the more excited I get! Is anyone else like that?
Planning your travels can literally be the difference between a successful and not-so-successful trip. It’s not that every single minute has to be planned and structured but having a framework and certain key pieces in place will be such a relief when you hit the road.
Is your first night’s accommodation booked? If you are in peak season, do you have all your accommodation booked? How will you get there from the airport? Is there public transport (cheap) or will you take a taxi? You won’t regret thinking through some of these critical decisions before leaving the comfort of your own home.
