replying to @Polymathically @Polymathically @inspiretowander That's interesting! Is there anywhere you have ancestry that you haven't visited yet? #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A2: Once I have my days off in mind, I book the hotels first as they can be cancelled for no charge later if needed.
Step 2 is the flights
Step 3 is to adjust the hotel dates as needed

A3. I'm a very organized person, so I plan trips months in advance, but actually booking everything depends on cost of flights #InspireToWander @inspiretowander

replying to @KaraDiDomizio @KaraDiDomizio @JustinLaurenXO I'm the same, though I'll opt for natural wonders over man-made ones if I have to choose! #InspireToWander

@JustinLaurenXO @takemomalong Me booking early flight: It's fine. It's the best option. Won't be a big deal.
Me actually morning of flight: Why did I do this to myself. #InspiretoWander

replying to @takemomalong @takemomalong @JustinLaurenXO Is any airport price friendly in Canada? If so, I want to live there lol. Vancouver isn't so bad for Asia I will admit #inspiretowander

replying to @travelingthistl @travelingthistl @Airbnb I'm sure that traveling with a camper changes your trips quite a bit, making some things easier and some aspects trickier! A great adventure! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2 I start with the places I want to go, then I connect the dots (which is sometimes challenging!). When the plan seems doable, I start looking for accommodation #InspireToWander

replying to @Polymathically @Polymathically @inspiretowander So interesting! Ancestry tourism is apparently a huge growth industry #inspiretowander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: As much as I’d like to sound organized, our first thing is usually tondebate locations for weeks, decide on 1 or 2 and then Day dream for a few solid weeks. Followed by transportation booking and hotel. Hubby likes to have essentials done! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander Q3: depends on the trip, but usually three months if flying is involved or it’s international, and about one if we’re just driving! #inspiretowander

replying to @OffTrackTravel @OffTrackTravel @JustinLaurenXO Vancouver is pretty decent indeed, both in terms of prices and customs clearance time. Also connectivity (and $) to/fro the city. I find Calgary OK as well. Toronto's prices are sometimes so inflated I'm VERY tempted to go to Buffalo esp. for N.American flights. #InspireToWander

A3: Sometimes it's a few weeks, sometimes months & sometimes even just a few days! It really all just depends on the situation. #InspireToWander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A3: It varies, but usually about 3-4 months these days. I used to plan way farther in advance, but now we are thinking about going somewhere in April and don't have a clue where yet LOL #InspireToWander

replying to @OffTrackTravel @OffTrackTravel @takemomalong @JustinLaurenXO Haha yeah. with the budget airlines it's getting a little better but we still have a long way to go! #InspireToWander

A4 #inspiretowander I try to start booking 3 to 4 months in advance. Everyone says you should book air fares about 3 months before. Sometimes as in the case of Sydney NYE, you should book certain things like hotels even earlier. I use air fare apps to tell me when to book that

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO CT to visit family, Dublin for a few nights, Seville and southern Spain for 2 weeks, Florence for 2 weeks. Literally too excited to function right now. #InspireToWander

replying to @travelingthistl @travelingthistl @Airbnb I can relate! We prefer to head to places with more wild camping (boondocking) options with our van. British Columbia in Canada is amazing for this #inspiretowander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @canadapointsguy @canadapointsguy @inspiretowander Wow hotels first! That's cool. I definitely take advantage of the free cancellation with hotels. But it's usually flights first for me, then hotels. #InspireToWander

A3: We tend to like to plan in advance (6-8 months out) so we can make sure we have plenty of funds budgeted and get everything planned out (again, #oneofusistypeA) but we have been known to go short notice to take advantage of a deal! #InspiretoWander
IBBtravel
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @inspiretowander Wow that's so far in advance! I only plan that far ahead usually if I see a flight deal pop up LOL! #InspireToWander

Q3: That would depend on the trip. For example, If I'm flying across the pond I want to plan it out & maximize my time there. Road trips can be spontaneous. #InspireToWander https://t.co/iE5lahv2kH

@inspiretowander A3: I am always planning 2-3 different trips as far out as 11months in advance.
Currently working on a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest.
Also, I usually have a suitcase in my room and keep throwing in stuff in there that I will need for next trip. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A3 way in advance! 😅 Even if it's close to home, I like to plan everything in advance. If I'm going to Europe, I like to plan at least 6 months before! Although the last trip I only planned it 3 weeks before #InspireToWander

replying to @PassportDorks @PassportDorks @inspiretowander Yup. I took some DNA tests about a year ago, and was very surprised with the results. Turns out I'm from a lot of places. So far I've been to 🏴🏴🇫🇷🇩🇪, with only 🇳🇴left for my European side. My Asian side includes 🇨🇳🇹🇼🇵🇭🇻🇳🇰🇭🇮🇩, with some distant 🇳🇵and the Stans. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A1 I travel a lot for work and have been all over North America. Some projects are longer than others but will try and explore on my days off. Like when recently in Edmonton, I went to Elk Island national park and saw the bison. VERY cool #inspiretowander
PassportDorks
replying to @PassportDorks 2019 is a year where we have a lot of uncertainly ahead, so we're looking at planning some trips later in the year but likely with only 1-2 months to plan! Eeks - exciting but daunting! #InspiretoWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @inspiretowander You've got lots of time. #YesIProcrastinate #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A3) I have found typically 3 months or so is a good range ahead of time to start planning. I have a lot of big trip plans loosely but I wait until closer to departure for specifications as far as the attractions I want to visit etc. #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel @takemomalong @JustinLaurenXO In comparison to Australia (which has similar population and distance issues) it is really not good. Here's hoping the budget airlines grow #inspiretowander
