If it's a big deal, requiring tickets and vacation time off, several weeks in advance.
Planning's a bit easier if it's a yearly tradition at a fixed time & place. For example, every Labor Day our family would attend an airshow, so we'd always know to book that weekend off.

@SethGreene531 Campgrounds raise their rates for holiday weekends and are booked in advance. Wait till Tuesday and rates will drop almost 50% and everyone will have availability.
@Musicman Tell me about it. Camping has changed in thirty years. Used to be you'd pull up & grab a spot. No credit card, no months long pre-booking, or hundred(s) dollar fee.

Well, I'm sorry you guys aren't going anywhere. I do hope you can celebrate in your own way close to home though.

@beermeplease That works. So far my only plans are to have lunch with a friend. 🤷‍♂
My wife does all the planning and arrangements to surprise me. Been traveling the world with her last several years. Leave for Hanoi on the 15th, 3 day tour "somewhere" shortly after we get there. Only two countries on this trip. So far that is all I know.

@ShenaniganFoodie Are you serious! That's almost double! How much is the '27 cruise costing you?

Well, I plan vacations a year or so ahead of time, because they involve travel and renting places to stay until I can get an RV as you know. And it almost always involves the ocean or hunting and fishing of some sort.

But again, once I am able to have an RV then things could change to a weekly or daily decision process depending upon how I feel or an interest that I have or a friend, I would want to travel to see.

But I am holding pat as you know until I am able to get the house plumbed, then things become more fluid.

I always plan weeks ahead for my gongs on and Willa adventure's but they also can be spur of the moment as Well.

@Musicman Now that usually starts a week or two ahead of time with five or more, then I whittle it down to one or two a few days before I go out and match heels and purse and accessories to the dress and make the final decision the morning of or before going out.

@WillaKissing Is the process fun or stressful?

@Musicman Fun!
