Inside
Fix the trip before it gets expensive.
- Pick a hotel area that matches the trip instead of chasing the cheapest pin.
- Group each day by neighborhood so the weekend does not become a train, bus, and taxi puzzle.
- Plan a rainy-day swap before the forecast ruins the route.
- Book one main activity, leave one meal flexible, and protect a Saturday rest break.
