Lesson 8: Editing Questions
Now you have ample amounts of information on all your vacation preferences. You now need to fit those activities into your original restriction framework. This may take some serious pasting and cutting!
Thus, the last step to good travel planning is to organize all of your preference information into your existing framework. In this lesson you will learn how and what to add into your framework to create a schedule and a budget. Ultimately, this schedule and budget will fit your travel needs, wants, and desires.
For Who is Coming
Create a schedule using your results for all categories. Using the Schedule Form found in the Exercise section of this lesson or on a piece of paper and write the title “Schedule”. Add in specific activities. Don’t forget to add in commitments, hotel check in times, meal times, and transportation times. Between these times, add in some of the specific activities you found.
Try to be as precise as you can. Use time ranges where appropriate. In the comments section, put dollar amounts for various basics and activities.
Look at your schedule. Look back on your Restriction Questions Form. Do any of the basics or activities conflict dramatically with participant issues? Are you taking your small child to a Five Star Restaurant? Is your aged Aunt going skydiving?
Is there some way to reduce or mediate these conflicts? If you can, great. If you can’t, cut that specific basic or activity out of the trip. You may want to try just a bit harder to keep a five preference versus a four preference. You may also want to keep a basic or activity if most members have fairly high preferences for this activity. Try to keep at least one four or five preference for each person on your vacation.
