Here is a basic outline of information you might want to include on your family’s itinerary. See the tips and tricks for building your own custom-crafted kid-approved itinerary, to guide you on perfect family adventures, in the Alberta 48 Travel Guide.
The basic heart of an itinerary is a simple timetable of what happens.
It could be as simple as a list on a notepad.
But there is a lot of other information you could consider adding to your itinerary, that may help you stay oriented during your tour, or aid memories when you’re looking back on the trip, years later.
