Planning a trip always starts with the obvious—choosing the destination. And making the right choice is more important than ever when traveling during fall as the weather is pretty unpredictable. If you’re not sure where to start, these three tips will help you make the right pick.
Weather Changes
Checking the weather forecast is extremely important when it comes to fall trips, but it doesn’t always work. You’ll be dealing with changeable weather conditions, so it’s important to go with a destination that offers enough flexibility and where you’ll have something to do even if it starts raining outside.
Trip Type
Before picking your destination, you should know what type of trip you’re embarking on. Road trips are a good choice if the weather isn’t too bad, tropical gateways are the right choice for people looking for an escape from rain and cold, while city gateways offer the most balanced experience.
Check Your Schedule
Unless you’re working remotely and can hit the road at any time, you may struggle to get days off in the fall. If you’ve already used up your vacation days, use your weekends to go on day trips in your local area, and only consider going further away if you can get days off work.
