Touring Vacation Packages: A New Bed Most Nights
Touring vacation packages cover more ground than any other rhythm here and ask the most of you, and both halves of that are printed on every page.
This is the rhythm that sells itself in a brochure and catches people out in week two. Five towns in eight nights is genuinely five towns, and it is also five check-ins, five sets of stairs and five mornings that start with a search for the phone charger.
So the hours are printed rather than described. Each page states the longest single move door to door and what share of the whole trip is spent in a vehicle, and on these two that share is the largest in the catalog.
Done properly it is the best value here per place seen. Done to somebody who wanted a rest, it is a fortnight of packing.
Two of them, from $2,120 per person

The mark on each is a shape, not a color. It starts as a square and loses more of its corner the more often you have to pack.
