Protect the time you actually have
A short trip leaves less room to recover from a crowded plan. Choose the main reason for going, account for arrival and departure, and keep optional ideas separate from the commitments that matter most.
- Compare usable time rather than calendar days alone.
- Choose a few priorities instead of collecting every possible stop.
- Use the itinerary and budget topics to connect the short break with a workable plan.
