![]() By Susan Sherren, March 21, 2021- 6:50 PM Most of us can guess that a well-planned itinerary is a key component to having a awesome vacation experience. You just don't want to arrive at your destination without any prior planning. Going on the fly may seem adventurous, but you can't really maximize your time with this strategy. A well-planned itinerary is key- but have you considered really adding some local flavor into your trip. Yes, we all want to see the Tower of London and the Queen's jewels, but what about timing our vacation days to coincide with a local event, exhibit, or concert. At Couture Trips, we call this parallel planning. Quite simply, your plans parallel local pre-scheduled events. Several years ago, I planned my London, England trip to coincide with the Queen's Jubilee Celebration at Buckingham Palace! The tickets for this event went on sale six months before the actual event.Yes, it took advanced planning to get into this venue. There was an attire protocol, and I had to go through several steps to obtain a security clearance before even attending. I was handsomely rewarded for all of my efforts. I had an over-the-top night at Buckingham Palace! To mingle with the English on their turf was truly memorable. ![]() While the rest of the trip was fabulous, the highlight was definitely the parallel experience I took advantage of. You, too, can have these memorable and really authentic experiences with advanced planning and forethought. You can start by scouring the internet and reading the local papers like- the UK's The Telegraph to see what's happening in the communities and cities you are planning on visiting. Once you start implementing parallel planning, your vacations will never be the same again! You can also contact Couture Trips for any assistance. We utilize this strategy when we consult with our travelers. Our little "secret sauce" will really spice up your days away. We are constantly scouring the globe for great events and activities that will add that magic touch to your vacation.
