Let’s Get Started!
One of the most stressful things about planning a vacation is actually knowing where to start! A great jumping off point is to start nailing down some simple logistics! These are also questions your travel planner will need to know to help you fine tune your holiday. Some helpful specifics would include:
- What time of year do you want to travel?
- What budget did you have in mind for your trip?
- Are there specific dates that work better for you?
- How many days would you like your vacation to last?
- Are your driving or flying?
- Did you have a resort in mind that you would like to stay?
Once these major decisions are ironed out you are well on your way!
