Plan trips with context: dates, budget, pace and priorities. Trip reports and strong opinions are welcome when they explain what kind of traveler they suit.

We're choosing between two destinations for a week off, and the deciding factor is weather. One has a higher chance of rain but better indoor options; the other is mostly about beaches and outdoor walks. We can tolerate...
My itineraries tend to alternate long sightseeing days with other long sightseeing days until everyone is exhausted. I want to build a real rest day into a two-week trip, but the word ‘rest’ starts sounding like a wasted...
A hotel offers breakfast for an extra daily charge. It sounds convenient until I realize several days begin before the dining room opens, and on others we'd rather explore local cafés. I'm trying to compare the actual mo...
