Keep a destination question list

Separate what you know from what still needs checking. Useful categories include transport, accessibility, local rules, opening arrangements and accommodation. Put a source and a date beside information that can change.

Resolve the questions that affect bookings first. Use official operators and venue information where possible, and confirm details that are especially important to your group before paying.

Keep optional ideas in a different section from confirmed plans. After the visit, record what you learned for your own reference without assuming it will remain current forever.
