A21-001 – The art of Lists
While all this planning is going on in the back of your mind should be a whole pile of lists being created ! Instead of leaving in your mind, and generally cluttering it up, start writing a list from the first time you start to think. I usually get a A4 firm covered lined book (one that can tear pages out of is nice) and write down all sorts of things as I go along. Here are some of the page titles that I uses. Obviously depends a little on the type of trip !
- Toiletries to pack
- Gifts to pack
- Things would like to di
- Eletronics to pack
- Shopping to do before trip
- Shopping while away to bring home
- Things to do at each destinations
- Thanigs to take pictures of
- and the lists go on !
No need to worry about the order, this is just a place to write things down as they pop into your head or you read something interested.
Depending on the type of trip this planning may go one about 3 months before hand, but for some trips it may be as much as a year. If what you want to do is season, often accommodation has to be organised waaaay in advance. This of festivals like the Edinburgh tattoo or an animal migration
