Why the Best Trip We Took This Year Had No Itinerary
No landmarks, no 6 a.m. alarm, no group chat vote. Just a change of scenery and a full night's sleep. -

Frequently asked questions
-
Do I need a detailed itinerary for a trip to actually count as a vacation?
No — some of the most restorative trips we’ve covered have zero fixed plans. The point is a change of scenery and a full night’s sleep, not a spreadsheet.
-
Is a weekend really long enough to be worth it?
Yes, if you stop treating it like a shrunken version of a week-long trip. A good 36-hour trip is its own format, not a compromise.
