The amount of planning that goes into a trip is hard to really get across. Once I pick a destination, the real work starts. The best flights, airport parking, rental cars, hotels, restaurants, bars, planning excursions, museum times and fees, weather, what to pack... is your head spinning yet? It is a lot of work. And if you want to do it on the more affordable route, it takes even more planning, comparing prices, watching flights, and doing a whole lot of research to find out where quality and price come together. An example I tend to use is my Iceland post. If you could see my 15-page master sheet (or the bible as Amanda and I called it) you would be shell-shocked. I figured I would share my planning notes for my upcoming trip - spending 1 week in Banff/Alberta area celebrating my 30th birthday
Here is what planning for a week (and turning 30!) in Banff/Alberta Canada looks like.
