Travel from “scratch”… Making it happen

Time, interests, family, safety, bucks… There are no shortage of things to consider when you commit to planning a new trip. Where? Who will be going? How to get there? What to do? Where to stay? How much can we afford? These are up front questions that need to be answered before you swipe the card!

Right now I’m trip free! Nothing scheduled, booked… Reservation-less! However, I do have a couple of seeds for trips that I’d like to begin planning.

So… I’m going to try and chronicle my next planning effort, from start to finish, and somehow give word to the process I use for trip creation from the first inklings to Day 1.  My thinking is that this sort of examination might support my understanding of organizing a trip and isolate efficiencies to be used in the future! The nature of this warrants a “work in progress” status, so I expect lots of posts. Here we go!
