Pacific Northwest Journeys Travel Planning Process

Our full itinerary planning service, the first step in the process is completing our detailed planning questionnaire. There’s a lot we need to know, starting with your desired vacation pace: relaxed, active or somewhere in between. What’s your budget? Would you enjoy mingling with other travelers at a bed and breakfast, or prefer the luxurious solitude of a suite at a romantic inn? We even ask about your allergies, just to make sure nothing comes between you and the perfect vacation.

Our list of activities and adventures may spark some ideas: hiking, cycling, theatre or opera, perhaps hot air ballooning or sea kayaking, to name a few. After reviewing your questionnaire and consulting with you by phone and email, we’ll propose an itinerary and present lodging options. We’ll go over these with you, then make reservations at the places you choose.

You’ll receive your final written itinerary about three weeks before your trip. It will include detailed information your trip, including driving directions, restaurant recommendations and sightseeing possibilities tailored to your interests and budget. Your final itinerary will be available via a digital app that you can have on your phone.

Our fees are based on the amount of time we spend planning your trip. Fees will vary based on the length of your vacation and the number of places you’d like to visit. Please refer to our Services and Rates page for pricing information.
