Vacations would have been very easy to manage once you make research and start planning quite early but the tricky part comes down when you decide to travel with someone else. Figuring out how to split expenses and timing purchases so that you on the same flight /sit together is really a hassle. However sole travel is expensive but somehow the best way to do everything your way. Alternatively start the planning processes together as a team and end it still as a team.
Crazy Itineraries
This is experienced when travelers try squeezing everything in one visit due to making too much research, tight schedules or limited travel budget. A lot is always planned from home forgetting the real picture of tourist attractions, distance between them, connectivity, weather and possible number of days needed to explore each destination. Every traveler should share their trip itinerary and plan with local tour company to ensure that nothing changes upon arrival because an itinerary may sound interesting but not applicable in the real sense. Some times what looks good becomes worst trip based on tiredness ending up with a different itinerary totally different from the original.
