You have been planning and saving and organizing the perfect trip. You have researched your destination and you know what you want to see and do. But have you remembered everything? Traveling is about spontaneity and adventure, but it does require some planning and preparing. You might have packed in the perfect pair of beach shorts but if you don’t have the right paperwork you aren’t going to be going anywhere. Steps to planning a memorable holiday. This guide will help you plan the most incredible trip you have ever been on. Work out our budget: It would be great to go on holiday without having to worry about how much you spend but most people can’t afford to that, so you need a budget. Figuring you your budget is step one of your travel preparations because this will determine, where you go, when you go and for how long. The best way to set a budget is to research the place/s you want to travel to. Find out what the average cost of accommodation is and how much food costs. Check out the attractions and activities you want to do and how much they cost. Very often off seasons are cheaper so look at accommodation prices during those times as well. Once you have all that information, set a budget. Make it realistic and add a little extra, just to be safe. Maybe you already have money set aside you can use but if you don’t you know now how much you need to save. Where are you going: When you were working out a budget you might have changed your destination. If you have a list of places you want to go, put them in order of priority so you can start planning. Picking a destination is important. It gives you a set goal and once you know where you are going you can start planning the rest of the trip. Book your flight: Depending on where you are going your flight is going to be the most expensive part of your trip. Book it first. Air tickets are also often cheaper when bought earlier, so try to buy your airline tickets a few months in advance. You can set up alerts for your flights so that you are notified when they are on special. Doing this will allow you to take advantage of specials on your flights. Plan an itinerary: Once you know where you are going and have booked your flights, you can start planning and itinerary for your trip. This is important to do especially if you are traveling to a place that has a lot of activities to do and sites to see. Planning what you are going to be doing each day will allow you to make the most of your time at your destination. Planning an itinerary will also help you to stay within your budget. You can decide which attractions you really want to see and plan around those. Book your accommodation: Some travelers like to book accommodation when they arrive but booking accommodation in advance helps you to stay within your budget and by booking early you might end up saving money. If you are traveling in Mexico during peak season you definitely want to book where you will stay in advance. Use your itinerary to book your accommodation and don’t rush it. Look at all the options available from Airbnb’s to B&B’s to hotels and consider the travel costs to get to where you want to go. Sometimes it is cheaper to stay some central and walk everywhere than to book outside the town and have to travel in every day. Pack properly: Once you have the flights, the itinerary and the accommodation all planned and organized, you can start to plan what you are going to pack. Before you start packing, determine what the weather is going to be like in your chosen destination. When you start making you travel packing list, start with the essentials. Avoid over packing, you will have to carry around a heavy suitcase with you and might not even need everything you packed. Even if you are traveling in Brazilin winter and need jackets and jerseys, you can still pack light. Focus on those items you can wear more than once. Manage expectations and enjoy your getaway: If you follow all of these steps you will have an amazing holiday, free from stress and worry. By taking the time to plan and organize your trip will allow you to board your plan and head off to your chosen destination without worry. Enjoy the hard work you have put into the planning of your holiday and embrace every moment of your getaway to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
