Trip planning: destinations, dates, budget, transportation, lodging, activities, bookings, packing, documents.

When to use this template

Use it for a trip planning session — a group conversation to plan a vacation, work trip, family reunion, or group travel. The structure covers both the trip details (dates, budget, transportation, lodging, activities) and the operational logistics (bookings made vs needed, packing notes, documents like passports and visas). For an ongoing household conversation, see Family Meeting. For money specifics, see Finance & Budget.
