The only thing better than a vacation is a well-planned vacation with friends. With careful preparation and good communication, you can ensure that your group will stay enthusiastic through the whole trip. 【小题1】

Choose friends you get along well with. You‟ll be spending a lot of time with your travel companions, so think of people who have similar general travel habits and are flexible and   relaxed. 【小题2】 Also consider whether a friend is an early riser or prefers to go to sleep late, and how high-maintenance they tend to be.

【小题3】Ask your friends to be open about how much you‟re each willing to pay for the trip, between travel, accommodation, food and entertainment costs. You‟ll plan your travel schedule around these loose budget constraints(限制条件).

Plan transportation

Buy plane tickets early to avoid higher prices. Use public transportation if your group is small enough to keep together. Consider renting a car if you‟re traveling with small children or a larger group.

Choose a destination

【小题4】 Since you‟re traveling farther, it‟s best to go with a group that‟s small and easy to keep together, no more than three or four people. If you know your friends would rather lounge by the beach than go walking all over a city, a trip to a tropical destination might be the best choice.

Decide on daytime and nighttime activities

Research popular attractions in your destination and share them with your group. 【小题5】 This will allow everyone‟s voice to be heard and ensures that the planners don‟t have to make all the hard decisions.

Now, it‟s time to start getting ready to plan the trip.
