Duke and I have traveled a lot since we were kids. In this video we talk about how we got started travelling as kids and do a quick summary of our travels. We also discuss our traavel planning process.
Duke has almost completed planning our next trip (We leave in two weeks). So we discuss the details of how he does the planning. We discuss:
– How we use Hotels.com, Booking.com, Tripadvisor and booking directly.
– Planning a route.
– Booking rental cars.
– How we keep track of our plans.
