Thisbooked. is all the information anyone needs to run away from their hectic work life. The next part of planning is 133 what to do while at the place. As this is a weekend trip, generally it would mean that you would either be at the destination by Saturday morning or noon already or have one night to spare only before you leave the next day. Therefore, think of a general theme or objective of the trip.

MEeSSnjEelNaTIhAaLn ITNeFmOpRatMAMTIenOaNrik 7 Having a few aims or wanting to explore the city would not be a wise idea as time is a constraint. If the idea of the trip is to relax, then, go for a spa, reserve a table by the beach side restaurant or have a drink in a laidback bar. If the idea of the trip is to try the food there, then, get a local map and mark the destinations to be covered. Make sure to not overeat as it will make you feel lethargic and not leave enough room for more. The idea is to eat a little but many times throughout the day. 8 If the point of the trip is to experience the place and culture, for example a kampung area, then the best way to do so within the given time frame is to plan the trip on a local map. Having a GPS would be really helpful. Ensure that you have all addresses before hand to avoid driving around lost. Do take lots of photographs and behave like tourists because after all, you are on a holiday. 9 Last but de nitely not least is the budget allocated. Set aside the relevant amount plus a little extra for the planned and expected expenditures such as accomodation, car rental, ights and so on. As for the unplanned expenditures, do remember to take into account the meals, souvenirs and other activities. If possible try to use a mix of cash and credit. The reason is with cash, you can visibly monitor how much is spent. However with credit, you may over splurge and this might worry you when you get home. On the other hand, travelling with too much cash can be a bit risky as you become a potential victim of theft or just the traditional case of misplacing your wallet. Then, in this case, a credit card seems to be the slightly wiser choice. Well, these pointers serve as a rough guide to planning a weekend trip out; do remember there will always be a next time travelling back to the same place. Time may be a constraint so if it is going to be your rst time there, worry not because there are 52 weekends in a year, chances are you can travel there again.134
