For the last month, I have had maps and calendars taped up on my office walls – Google maps, Rand McNally road maps, blank calendar pages filled with location options, and lines showing hours of driving crisscrossing the maps. It’s starting to look a bit like a war room just before a major incursion.
Speaking of incursions, DJT has just wandered into Iran, and now my gasoline budget for this summer has gone through the roof. Splendid.
But back to spreadsheets. I now have a colour-coded, carefully laid-out, 2 page (legal length) Excel spreadsheet set up for the dates July 6th to October 13th. This has become my master planner, my bible, my cornerstone of travel planning. Each morning, before I do anything else, I try to make at least some progress on firming up our travel plans.
It’s a work in progress.
