Three rules that make any destination work
01
Start smaller than you think
Two or three nights, minimal time change, easy logistics. The first trip only has to prove you can do it.
02
Stay longer, see less
Changing hotels every two nights is what wears everyone out. Pick one base and take day trips from it.
03
One big thing a day
Plan a single anchor activity, then leave room for naps, playgrounds and the mood you actually get.
The sunday postcard
One short letter a week, from wherever we are
