1A month before the trip, Anna and Mark plan their itinerary.
2They sit at the kitchen table with laptops and notebooks.
3First, they list the cities they both want to visit.
4There are too many places for only ten days.
5They decide to skip one city to travel more slowly.
6Anna prefers museums, while Mark likes hiking in nature.
7They agree to do something for each person every day.
8Mark finds cheap train tickets if they book early.
9Anna compares hotel reviews on two different websites.
10They choose small guesthouses instead of large hotels.
11Each day has one main activity and some free time.
12They leave the last afternoon open for shopping and rest.
13Mark downloads offline maps for every city on the route.
14Anna makes a folder with all the booking confirmations.
15They also note the opening times of the main attractions.
16The museum is closed on Mondays, so they change the plan.
17They check the weather forecast for the travel dates.
18Rain is expected, so they pack two light jackets.
19Finally, they send the itinerary to their parents by email.
20With the plan finished, they can hardly wait to leave.
