Planning your Vacation Big Nights in advance of vacation means you get to fully enjoy yourself on that vacation, instead of wondering what you should eat. Sure, scheduling vacation meals in advance doesn’t sound very…vacation-y. But who wants to be sitting on a beach, or hiking, or reading a book, while there is a little voice in the back of your head wondering What’s for dinner? Who’s going to make it? Do we need to go to the grocery store?
Embrace the mindset of planning ahead to optimize your leisure time. Instead of worrying about meals, focus on exploring new destinations or unwinding by the pool. Katherine Lewin’s strategy extends to hosting Big Party weekends with friends, creating unforgettable culinary experiences.
