How to Plan an Active Vacation in 6 Easy Steps
Step 6: Get ready for an ah-mazing time
I was a little nervous leading up to our trip. For one thing, I planned to pretty much unplug (whee!), which meant getting a lot of work done ahead of time, so I was super busy. But I also found myself fighting worries that things wouldn’t be as amazing as we’d hoped, or that things would go wrong.
And that’s when it hit me: Worst case scenario, we miss something we’ve planned or a flight gets canceled, and we’re forced to spend some extra time on whatever gorgeous island we happen to be on at the time. Nothing like that happened — we just got hosed on some swimming and hiking due to weather, but nothing major — and it was nice to know that my worst case scenario was not so bad.
Have you ever planned an action-packed, multi-destination vacay like this? Got any tips to add? Any comments on the tips I’ve provided? —Kristen
