]]>How Many?
Sometimes, going away as a larger group of friends can help to dispel tensions. If you start getting fed up with someone on day four of the trip, it matters less if there are six other people to chat with and hang out with. However, going away as a large group can be logistically tricky. You will need to make sure that you can find accommodation that can comfortably house everyone, and you will need to ensure that there is some agreement about where you’re going and what you’re doing on vacation.
How Close?
If you’re going away with one friend, you will need to feel confident that you are pretty close—certainly, you will need to feel close enough that you can express your views comfortably without feeling like you’re silencing yourself. Traveling as a pair or trio can be super fun and super intense, so make sure that your friendships can survive some of the inevitable stresses that come with traveling.
CALIFORNIA WINERY (@cottagecreekvineyards)How Long?
Many people feel that they can handle the idea of a weekend away with pals, but the thought of a week-long vacation fills them with mild horror. Try and work out how long you want to be away with your friends, and stick to this time limit. Even if your friends want to stay away for longer, you can always book a flight or train back early so that you stay in good spirits throughout the vacation.

]]>Read Up on the Sights
If you’re heading somewhere you’ve never been before, do some research before you arrive and check out the key sights and activities of the area you’re visiting. From this list, try and narrow it down to three or four key activities (or less if these are all-day activities). If you’re really struggling to choose between two different activities, let yourself decide on the day as you don’t want to feel beholden to your travel itinerary when you’re on vacation.
What is the Vacation For?
Have you booked a short break because you want to visit a city you’ve never experienced before? Or, are you just sorely in need of some rest and relaxation? If it’s the latter, consider seriously limiting the activities you plan to, and let yourself chill by the pool or on the beach. It can feel hard to fully switch off when we’re on holiday, but if it’s a short break making sure you get some relaxation in is more important than anything else.
Go With Your Interests
If there’s an amazing hiking trail in the area you’re visiting, and a museum about the history of the local area, choose whichever activity you would go for if you weren’t on holiday. If you’re a more active person, it’s likely that the trail will appeal – whereas if you’re a history buff, the museum is going to be calling you. Try to ignore external pressures and an idea of what you ‘should’ see and do, and focus on what you know you’ll enjoy.

]]>Don’t Waste Time
For almost everyone, vacation time is precious and hard-won. Why waste your rare holiday arguing with friends or family about what to do, or dithering by yourself until half the day is wasted? Having some clear plans of what you want to see and do in your destination means that wasting time is less of a risk. This doesn’t mean that you can’t leave some days blank in your itinerary: just as carefully planning a trip to a local beauty spot or museum is useful, so is having a day of wondering and following your senses through a place that is new to you.
(@keleden2)No Regrets
When you’re visiting a new country, city, or town, it’s almost impossible to see and do everything on offer. However, you can limit your regrets by prioritizing certain activities and sights and making these key within your itinerary. This way, you’ll enjoy your time away, knowing that you’ve spent it in the way that suits you best.
Compromise
If you’re traveling with others, an itinerary is a must if you want to avoid (or at least reduce) arguments and bickering. Plan the itinerary together, so everyone gets to share their preferences and ideas for what to do on vacation. When you’re away, make sure that you do at least one activity chosen by each person, so no one feels left out or neglected.
