Quick Answer

A practical weather-first planning guide: how to choose destinations by season, design indoor backups, and avoid itinerary collapse when rain, heat, or air quality changes your day.

Why it matters

If your “must-do” is outdoors, pick an indoor secondary option. If weather changes, you still win the day.

TL;DR (Copy‑Paste Summary)

  • Always have backups: one indoor plan per day keeps you relaxed.
  • Move smart: don’t stack long outdoor days without rest.
  • Pack for reality: small rain gear and comfortable shoes matter more than “fashion.”

The 1 Indoor / 1 Outdoor Rule

If your “must-do” is outdoors, pick an indoor secondary option. If weather changes, you still win the day.

FAQ

Do I need to over-plan?

No. You just need flexible structure. Two strong options per day is enough.
