PREFACE EXCERPT​
​As (OMG the biggest drop cap you've ever seen!) with so many things in life, the anticipation is a significant part of the overall thrill. Getting ready for a first date is often better than the evening itself. The run-up to Christmas is generally more fun than the actual day. The aroma of dinner cooking signals the beginning of your enjoyment of the meal, long before you sit down to table. Such is the case with travel. The planning of a vacation is half the fun, and being your own travel agent puts you in charge of your own destiny.

I have a friend who never goes anywhere, because he hates the planning that travel requires. For whatever reason, just the thought of doing the research is total agony for him. And so, when he does go somewhere, the experience is so crap, he has a miserable time and usually drags somebody along—or rather, down—with him. He doesn’t scope out the part of town where his rental apartment is located, doesn’t read the reviews to see that the bus schedule is unreliable or that the distance from A to B is too far and he should have rented a car, doesn’t know where the good restaurants are—the list goes on. No wonder he hates travelling. I would, too, if everywhere I went meant winging it for the worse.

Happily, this is not you. You’re smarter than that. You know that a pleasant travel experience takes a bit of time to formulate. While many people suck at this, either from not caring like my friend or just plain cluelessness, there’s really no excuse when you follow my handy, step-by-step guide.
