Hi friend,

Once you’ve picked a destination and booked a place to stay, the next place overwhelm sneaks in is the itinerary.

Suddenly you’re saving posts, jotting down every spot you want to see, and then wondering how anyone fits everything into one day.

If that sounds familiar, this is your reminder:
You don’t need a packed itinerary to have a great trip.

That’s why this email is part of my Stop the Overwhelm Travel Tuesday series.

Each week, I’m sharing one small, practical way to make travel planning feel lighter and more doable.

This is Part 3.

Here’s the simple itinerary rule I always follow:

Plan one anchor activity per day.​
That’s it. One.

An anchor is the thing that matters most that day.
The must-do. The main reason you planned that day the way you did.

Then I’ll add:

• one optional idea, if everyone’s feeling good
• and plenty of downtime

That might look like:

• a morning attraction + hotel pool
• a scenic walk + lunch nearby
• one big experience and an early night

Here’s the mindset shift that changed how our trips feel:

Trips are better when you leave room for how the day actually unfolds.

Kids get tired. Plans change. Unexpected moments pop up.

And honestly, some of our favorite memories happen in the in-between moments you can’t plan anyway. 🥰

Stay tuned for more packing tips, behind-the-scenes travel hacks, and inspiration to make your trips feel doable and fun. I’m all about helping you make family travel as smooth as possible, so you can create memories without the headache.
