The anatomy of a trip planning

It starts: It’s time to go someplace.

What’s driving the decision: The time of year? The location? The amount of time? The cost?

In this case, the timing is known: late October, about 2 weeks.

Where to go that time of year? What is the weather like around the globe? Raining in the South East, Hot along the West coast, Dry to the South, Cold in the far South..

What do we want to do?  Should this be adventurous? relaxing?

And so the research begins.  The flight searches: can we use miles? are there cheap flights anywhere?

A trip to Get Lost. Browsing options: itineraries, hotels, cities, countries, regions

This is the fun part.

But it’s also frustrating.  Too many choices, not enough known.

But then things coalesce.

And the fun continues
