No endless tabs. No "top 87 things to do" listicles that ignore your budget, your kids, or your flight times. You answer a short question form; we do the homework and hand you a plan you can actually follow.
Start — go to secure checkout — $5 Secure checkout by Stripe. Your plan arrives by email within 24 hours of your answers.Three steps, about five minutes of your time, and the homework is ours.
At secure checkout you give us your destination, your dates, and your email. That starts your order and holds your place in line.
Right after checkout we email you a short form tailored to your trip — who's going, what you want out of it, your budget and pace. It takes about five minutes.
A finished, day-by-day vacation plan as a PDF: where to stay, what to do each day, where to eat, how to get around, and what it should cost — with "Book this" links for the things that need reserving.
Every plan is built from your answers and researched for your actual dates — not copied from a generic list.
Everything is labeled plainly: your figures (from your answers) vs. researched suggestions (prices and picks we verified while building your plan). If we couldn't verify something, the plan says so instead of inventing it.
Add any of these at checkout with one click. Each one becomes a full extra section in your plan.
The best local restaurants near where you're staying, matched to your budget — what to order, which ones need reservations, and the tourist traps to skip.
Museums, galleries, theater, and historic sites worth your time, worked into your days in the right order.
Hikes, tours, and water or outdoor activities, with booking links and the difficulty level stated honestly.
Bars, live music, and — most valuable of all — what's actually on during your exact dates.
Kid-friendly picks matched to your children's ages, plus rainy-day backups for every day of the trip.
Bought separately they'd be $10. If two or more of the packs sound like you, this is the one to take.
A 3-day weekend in Nashville for two, on a $900 budget.
Day 1 opens with the neighborhood call (stay in The Gulch vs. East Nashville — and why the plan picked one), a morning at the Country Music Hall of Fame timed to beat the tour-bus crowd, a hot-chicken lunch pick with the heat level translated for normal humans, and an evening on Broadway with two specific bars and the cover-charge warning that saves you $40.

The honest answers, up front.
Within 24 hours of your completed question form landing in our inbox. The clock starts on your answers, not your payment — a plan built on guesses helps nobody.
Personal. The format is consistent so it's easy to read, but every pick, route, and budget line is researched for your destination, your dates, and your answers. If we couldn't verify something, the plan says so instead of inventing it.
About five minutes on a short form: destination, dates, who's going (ages if kids are coming), budget, pace, and what you want out of the trip.
No — and that's deliberate. Your plan includes "Book this" links for the tours, tickets, and stays it recommends, and you book them yourself in a couple of clicks, so the reservation, the confirmation, and the refund rights are in your name.
Three honest sources: the $5 itself, the optional $2 add-on packs, and small commissions from some of the booking links in your plan. Those affiliate links pay us a little when you book through them — at no extra cost to you; you pay the platform's normal price. They're marked as booking links, and a recommendation only makes the plan if it's the right pick for your trip.
Some links in this plan are affiliate links — we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Reply to your delivery email. Small fixes (a date shift, a swapped hotel area) are free within 7 days — we'll re-issue the plan.
