Most of us have taken off somewhere on a whim at short notice and don’t forget that last minute.com made a very successful business out of it. Although the excitement and surprise are often brilliant you can sometimes get some surprises that you weren’t bargaining for. I’d always agree that for a big holiday some planning is essential.
If you’re reading A Luxury Travel Blog then the chances are that you’re the sort of person who likes to plan their holidays. For me it’s the finding out about places, looking at the possibilities which is almost as much fun as the travel itself. In the middle of London’s bleak midwinter we all need a bit of light and hope o the horizon.
Good tips about booking in advance with places getting busy. Nice to see some options like the Patagonia season in Argentina and Chile being for our usual off peak travel months. I’ve got places I’d like to try in summer months for the next two years but nothing really for the other months October to April so I’ll have to keep somewhere like that in mind. Or Costa Rica, that’s perhaps more my kind of thing. The new camp there looks lush.
