Creator's Key Takeaways

We're coming back o after our big, we call it keer paga. That's our name of our camping trip.

We're flying to Milan and then we're renting a car in Milan. And then we're driving through Switzerland, Austria.

Cruising planning is easy, but then we're going to be on land and we're really having a hard time trying to figure it out.

I don't want to drive eight hours. I don't want to drive four hours.

βœ“Consider using ChatGPT for trip ideas.

✈️🚒 Travel planning is part art, part science β€” and sometimes a little chaotic! This week on Thirsty Thursday, we’re diving into what goes into travel plans β€” from picking destinations to booking cruises, hotels, car rentals, travel routes and things to see and do. We want to chat with you about what planning you do. We’ll share our current dilemma as an example to start the conversation: After our upcoming Transatlantic cruise to Barcelona, we’ve got 19 days before we return home. Our β€œmust-do” is Oktoberfest in Munich, but we also have a Mediterranean cruise from Oct 4–15… so now we’re plotting how to fill in the rest of the days... Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Venice, and Milan. Will we get to them all or just a few? Here’s where YOU come in: β€’ How do you decide where to go? β€’ What resources or tools do you use to figure out what you want to see and find the best deals? β€’ Do you trust reviews, rely on friends, watch others on YouTube or just wing it? This time we're not the experts and we'd love to hear from you. Let's figure this out together. We’ll walk you through our tentative route and ask for your suggestions live! Maybe you have suggestions on where to go or just how to figure it all out. What would you do if you were in our boat? Bring your questions and suggestions and drop them in the chat for us all to see. πŸ“… Join us Thursday at 6PM EST on the Hubbard’s Journey YouTube channel and help us turn this puzzle into a plan.
