Planning Your Trip

A Couple of Practical Questions

A good rule of thumb:
  • Honeymoons: 9 to 12 months out
  • Peak-season travel: 6 to 9 months out
  • Multi-country or complex international trips: 6+ months out
Planning early gives you the best shot at the right hotels, the right rooms, and the right guides. Especially for honeymoons, safari camps, and Japan.
Yes. I help with flight strategy: routing, timing, and how to use miles and points if you have them, so the air side of your itinerary actually works with the trip on the ground.
