✈️ This is me, wondering exactly how far “not too far” is… 😅
I’ve discovered there are several internationally recognised units of measurement that apparently only exist when booking a holiday…
✈️ Flight time: “Nothing too early.”
How early is too early?! 4am? 6am? Before Lorraine finishes on ITV? 😅
🚌 Transfer time: “Not too far.”
Excellent. Are we talking 20 minutes or I’ll tolerate 90 minutes if there’s air con and snacks?
🏨 Hotel: “Just the usual.”
Ah yes. The universally recognised Standard Holiday Hotel™. 😂
📍 Location: “Near everything.”
The beach? Bars? Restaurants? Old Town? Attractions? Waterparks?!
💰 Budget: “Nothing ridiculous.”
Perfect. Let me consult the International Ridiculousness Index™.
🌴 Holiday style: “Just somewhere nice.”
Fabulous. That’s narrowed planet Earth down beautifully 😅
And my personal favourite…
💸 Budget: “We’re flexible for the right thing.”
Finds the right thing.
“OH NO. We wouldn’t pay THAT.” 😂😂
This is exactly why I now use a Travel Discovery Questionnaire before I start researching your trip. Sadly I am not blessed with a 25 hour day or the ability to read minds.
There’s absolutely no need to answer every question. I include plenty of detail because it gets you thinking about all those little things you might not initially consider — but that can make a HUGE difference to your holiday.
Is air conditioning essential?
How long would you actually sit on a transfer?
Would you sacrifice the perfect hotel for better flight times?
Do you want to be on the beach or is a 15-minute walk fine?
Because “not too far”, “not too early”, “the usual” and “somewhere nice” mean something completely different to every traveller.
The better I understand your version of the perfect holiday, the better I can design it.
