About this template
A good holiday takes a few evenings of planning, spread out. Leave it too late and the good flights and rooms are gone; plan every hour and there is no holiday left.
The project runs from deciding where and when, to booking the big things, to a light plan for each day. The travel checklist template covers the last week.
Tips from the template
- Apply it two or three months before you want to go.
