Sample Itineraries: A Bargain Giveaway for the Lazy Travel Planner
The collection below are samples itineraries that I have planned. Some of these were motivated by work, so some of the choices for location may seem strange. Nonetheless, they should provide a basis for planning, and can be amended as necessary.
Full reviews and write-up of each can be found on the Destinations page.
