Vacation Stages

I’m beginning to see a pattern with my vacation planning…

Stage 1: Pipe Dream
80% of vacation ideas never make it out of this stage.

Stage 2: Form A Team
See who’s available, when, what they can afford, and what they want. Another 15% of ideas die here. Hawaii is mired in this stage at present.

Stage 3: Divine Musical Sanction
Sign from above, usually in the form of scheduling serendipity with a treasured musical act, is provided.

Stage 4: Booking
This is where we’re at right now for San Francisco - I love this stage.

Stage 5: Realization
Actually going on the trip - also fun.

Stage 6: Post- Production
Editing of videos, posting of pictures.
