HOW TO PLAN THE PERFECT VACATION

Yes!!! everyone needs a vacation, baecation, friendcation and any other “cations” (Lol) just to escape the hustle and buzzy of everyday life. Trust me, vacation is not a luxury, it’s a basic necessity of life. You should have moments when you choose to put every other thing aside and just have a “YOU-TIME”. Yes, you deserve to flex and have some fun because you are a King and a Queen and you deserve all the care you can get.

Planning is by far the hardest part of taking a vacation. There are so many variables to consider, so many unknowns about a new country or city, and unforeseen obstacles that you can’t anticipate. So how do you go about planning the perfect vacation and have peace of mind that it’s going to be the vacation you’ve dreamed about.

Here’s a step-by-step process you can follow while planning your perfect vacation

Set a reasonable budget

Planning a vacation without making research on the costs associated with vacationing in your chosen location can lead to a distorted financial projection and leave you stranded halfway.

Find out the prices of hotels, how much their food costs, and how much you would incur on transportation before you book your flights or board a bus. Be honest with yourself when it comes to your budget. 

Setting a reasonable budget will help you manage expectations and decide what things are non-negotiable. 

Peradventure, you can’t afford to spend on things you know you’ll want to do at your chosen destination, you can put the location on hold and go somewhere cheaper instead with a determination to save up to visit your desired destination next time. Remember, you shouldn’t break the bank to plan a vacation. 

Pack like a pro.

Making a list of all you would need will make your packing seamless. You won’t want to get to your destination forgetting something very important. Also, remember that your choice of destination would sometimes determine what kind of item you would need to pack. You won’t be needing a swim jacket if you plan camping in a park with friends and family.  Do you need light or long sleeve clothing? Should you bring a raincoat? Is a bathing suit the only article of clothing you need? Do a little research on the area of the world you are traveling to. Know the weather expected and what may be unexpected. Contact the hotel or resort to get a list of items they have in the room (blow dryer, shampoo, bathrobe). It can help tailor what you have to bring. Don’t forget to pack everything efficiently!

Set a daily activity schedule

One thing you should have mapped out is how you intend to spend every day of your vacation. This will keep you engaged and make the vacation worthwhile for you. Give room to accommodate events that might interest you in the course of your vacation. Remember, you can always modify your activities to accommodate new exciting experiences you wouldn’t want to miss out on.
