A weekend with no itinerary

What happens when the plan is simply to be somewhere.

Start by removing things

Most plans fail because they are too full. Take out every activity that is there only to justify the trip.

Let the place lead

A house, a view and a kitchen are usually enough. Weather and mood do the rest.

Keep one anchor

One good meal or one walk gives the weekend a shape without making it a schedule.

What it asks of the place

A place that works without an itinerary needs to be comfortable, quiet and easy. That is the standard we are interested in.
