![]() ![]() If you are having trouble deciding on a destination, then figure out what you want to do there, before deciding on the location. If you’re travelling with children, try and travel towards the very start or the end of the school holidays (unless you're in Northern Ireland – in which case you have more choice as some school holidays differ from England!) Try to travel during low season, if possible during the week, for the best deals, especially where flights are concerned. If people have options they are more likely to respond/commit than if you ask the vague question “so when suits people?”. In our experience it’s easier to establish a few dates that might be possible, then propose these to the group. This might seem really obvious, but decide a definitive date FAR IN ADVANCE. ![]() We have even created a handy table in word that you can download to keep track of all the info, including passport details you will need to book flights and accommodation (it saves so much time later!). If there are a lot of you, there are a number of online surveys that you can use: survey monkey, typeform and doodle all offer free trials or accounts to help you gather preferences. Create a What's app or Facebook group, add anyone who you think might want to join and ask for input (if needed) on dates, destination and budget. The dreaded group chat is without doubt the easiest way to get this sorted quickly. If there’s children involved then you have the minefield of school holidays to contend with! So with that in mind we have composed this handy checklist that might help you to maintain your sanity. Trying to organise a bunch of independent adults with different work schedules and life commitments can be a nightmare. We know how stressful planning a group holiday can be.
