12 Months From Now

Let’s think about 12 months from now. Yes, a whole year away. Planning any travel?

This might seem like overkill to you, but if you know you’re going somewhere a year from now, you may want to do a little research. Now. Why?

Let’s say you’re planning an around-the-world trip. This would be a good time to look at these things:

  • Ticket prices
  • How long you will be gone
  • How many stops you can make or want to make
  • Where you can stop
  • When you need to purchase the ticket
  • What is included
  • How many days do you have in each stop
  • What time of year is best

This is definitely a plan-a-year-in-advance kind of trip.

Maybe this trip isn’t on your bucket list. But, let’s say you know you’re going on some type of a trip next year. If you don’t already know the destination, or at least the general area, sit back and think about these things:

  • Are you going alone?
  • Are you traveling with a significant other or friend?
  • Are you meeting others?
  • What time of year are you going?
  • Are you going somewhere you’ve never been?
  • Are you traveling internationally or here in the U.S.?
  • How long will you be gone?
  • Do you have an idea where you would like to go?
  • If it requires a passport, is yours up to date?
  • Will you be staying in one place or moving around to different destinations?
  • Are there events, festivals, classes, or family occasions you want to include or plan around?
