REWIND Episode 178: 4 Signs Your Itinerary Is Too Ambitious

Sign number one is you have a back-to-back string of one or two night stays at different places, so like you're, you're hopping around to different hotels or, or different lodging options, especially the back-to-back one night stays.

I mean, the hassle of the gap with your luggage not having a home is just not fun.

I mean, there is luggage storage.

It is doable, but it is not fun.

Now, I know one night stays are sometimes a necessary evil to, you know, say, make a flight home, for example, but that kind of thing is generally the only reason you should be booking one night stays, and definitely make sure you don't book one night stays back to back.

Now, with two night stays, the main thing to keep in mind is that you really only have one actual day to explore wherever you're at with a two night stay, just one full day, so that is also just a very rushed experience while you're there even though at least you don't have to touch your luggage for two nights.

I can't even tell you how many posts I've seen online [laughs] like on TripAdvisor where someone's like, "Do you think my itinerary will work? Do you think this is too ambitious?" And they're like, "One night in this city, one night in this city, one night in this city." And I swear one time, I s- I still see the post in my mind.

One time the person had like nine one-night stays back to back to back, and I still remember all the comments th- with everyone saying like, "No, don't do that.

[laughs] Way too ambitious.
