Make the next visit a plan

Four weeks out · Make the decisions

• ☐ Agree on the dates, number of nights and who travels.
• ☐ Confirm leave and accommodation availability.
• ☐ Set a total spending limit and a contribution each person agrees to.
• ☐ Check what is refundable before committing money.
• ☐ Give the next booking task to one person, with a date to report back.

Three weeks out · Secure the essentials

• ☐ Book the agreed travel and accommodation when you're both ready.
• ☐ Save confirmations somewhere both partners can access.
• ☐ Agree on arrival and departure transport, including a backup.
• ☐ Note payment deadlines and cancellation terms in your own words.
• ☐ Keep spending money separate from money needed for the journey home.

Two weeks out · Plan a little, leave room

• ☐ Each choose one thing you'd most like to do.
• ☐ Reserve only activities that actually need booking.
• ☐ Agree on any work or family time during the visit.
• ☐ Leave an arrival buffer and at least one open block of time.
• ☐ Check whether you need to bring anything for staying at your partner's home.

The final week · Reduce last-minute decisions

• ☐ Recheck travel times and the meeting point.
• ☐ Share a short packing list and any practical needs.
• ☐ Decide on a simple first meal rather than a packed first evening.
• ☐ Save essential booking details offline.
• ☐ Agree on the first call after returning home, if you'd both like one.

Start earlier when your route or requirements need it. Confirm current official travel requirements before booking.
