Vacation Planning Template

Inspired by another spreadsheet posted here - where Disney trips specifically were being planned - this one is generic and can be viewed as a matrix or an agenda. It fills in dates for you (no big deal) and is a good starting point for easy collaboration when planning trips.

Vacation Planning Schedules to Share

This is an example of a trip planner, showing the full itinerary of a vacation in a very useful format - where each day is a column and each critical part of the day is a row (which hotel you're staying in, which sites you're visiting, where each meal is booked, etc). The original is a Disney vacation example - where booking things in advance is critical - but this concept can be applied to virtually any trip - even business trips.

Five Friends Meet in Hawaii

A Trip to Hawaii was planned using a spreadsheet for friends living in four different Timezones... a great story...

Snippet: "Today we have been laying out the plans for what we are going to do. Good times. We were sitting in four different time zones and making the plan in Google Spreadsheet. Fernando sitting on Hawaii, Ivan in Minneapolis, Alberto in Tennessee, and Femi and me in Prague."
