Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart Radio. Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's tip is to plan your year's travel all at once. That way you can say yes to including lots of different things in your travel portfolio, rather than having all your priorities compete against each other for every trip.
If you're trying to plan a vacation with a group of people for a particular time, say you're planning your Christmas vacation, you may be dealing with a lot of competing desires. One kid is dying to go to Disney World. Another wants to go to New York to see a Broadway show. Another wants to stay home. You may want to have a meal you'll remember for the rest of your life.
Your partner wants to go somewhere with a kids club, so you can get through a meal without cutting up someone's meat. It is going to be hard to satisfy all of those wants on any particular trip. That's why I think it's wise to take a different approach. Better to plan an entire year's travel all at once.
If you are thinking now about any summer trips, go ahead and think about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, and so forth. When you think about all of it, you could include all of it in your travel portfolio. After all, if you take a couple of trips per year, you can visit grandparents and take a nuclear family trip to a national park. You could go skiing and go to the beach.
When you plan the year's travel all at once, you are not choosing between experiences for a particular vacation. You are simply figuring out when during the year you will do all or at least most of the things you want to do. When you plan each trip as a one-off thing, on the other hand, you will always be asking, well, should we be visiting family instead? Or why are we going skiing?
You know I don't like skiing. Person A may argue against going to the beach because they're not a beach person and would prefer to go to Europe, rather than seeing that the year as a whole can contain both those things. There is also a practical reason for thinking about the year as a whole. You can manage your travel budget and your vacation days.
Perhaps Person A won't resent taking three days of PTO around Thanksgiving for a big family trip, or at least won't resent it as much, if she knows that another four days are reserved for her preferred trip around President's Day in February. Planning a portfolio as a whole helps ensure balance and that everyone is happy, or at least reasonably happy.
