Will you travel this summer? Have you started planning?
Sure it’s too early to load up the iDevices with kid movies and start packing the car, but there are still a few things you can do now to help ensure a great vacation when the time comes. In fact, there are a few things whose window of opportunity slowly closes the closer it gets to go time. Doing these things now could save you a little money, and will most likely save you a lot of grief.
For the next four days I’m posting things to help you get ready for summer trips (or any trip for that matter). We’ll start tomorrow with five things to consider as you plan, then unpack a few of those, and round it up on Friday with options for vacationing on the cheap.
But I’d love to know, what perplexes you most about traveling and vacations? Have you stalled out in planning an upcoming trip or have something you feel like you know you need to do but don’t know where to start? Let me know via the comment form or by commenting below. I’ll answer what I can now (even if just in the comments section), and I’ll also be taking notes for another series I intend to do closer to summer.
So… Whatd’you have for me?

This week we’re talking about travel planning. Here are links to the whole series:
Whenever we plan trips to places we have never been…we always get hung up on researching. Usually I worried that there is a common sense/cheap/awesome way to see/do/plan that place. If I don’t find that thing that “everyone” knows about (example: in Chicago, the Hancock tower is much better than the Sears tower), will our trip be a bust?

Ah! I totally know what you mean by this. I get obsessive about checking books, asking friends, and clicking uncountable links to try to avoid missing that certain unknown thing. Of course, you never know if/what you don’t know and that is a vicious, manic cycle.
I find that limiting myself in some arbitrary way is helpful. At this point I have a few resources that I count on and I tend to limit my research to that. I’ll try to figure out a way to work in sharing what those are. Great thought!
